James Rollins writting seems to gett better and better with every book. I loved this book. It's about a group of people who go into the Amazon looking for answers and a cure that is ravaging the planet. It's a very compelling read and I recomend it to anyone who loves mystery and adventure. ( )

My first James Rollins book and definitely not the last. A great page flipping adventure that had my attention captured from the very beginning. Giant jaguars, giant locusts, weird fish/frog flesh eating creatures, gargantuan caimans, people regenerating limbs...what more could you ask for? ( )

Amazonia is another fast-paced thriller from James Rollins. As per usual, he takes some pretty fantastic ideas and brings them together in an exciting, just-maybe plausible book. Nathan Rand's father and his scientific research team disappeared in the Amazon rainforest while researching potential botanical cures for disease. But, several years later a US Army Ranger who was part of the mission appears out of the Amazon rainforest - and formerly amputated arm has seemingly regrown. A party is put together to discover what happened to the expedition and recruits ethno-botanist Nathan Rand to join the mission. As the group goes deeper into the rainforest, they begin to discover strange creatures and even stranger myths about a dangerous Indian tribe. Somewhere out there is someone - or something - that can regenerate a human arm . . . and more.

As usual, Rollins does a good job of making the unimaginable almost real. The reader most definitely needs to suspend disbelief when reading a Rollins book, but once the reader has decided to go with the flow, s/he can count on an exciting journey. Definitely not "serious" literature, but Amazonia makes a perfect beach read. ( )

Amazonia was the first book by James Rollins I read and it grabbed form page one. You never know what to expect from one chapter to the next. I love a book that grabs your attention keeps you on the edge of your seat and doesn't let up until the end. If you are looking for an adventure, thriller that is action packed Amazonia is must read.

My first read by James Rollins. Reading Amazonia was like running for my life. The excitement, the animals, the people, death all seemed so real, it was terrifying.
definitely a page turner. I was scared yet i couldn't put it down. ( )
