Summary: "This Goes out to Mr. Austin"
Comment: A boy nicknamed loch and his sister zaidee are involuntarily going on an expedition to a Vermont lake to look for modern plesiosaurs with their father, Dr. Sam. Dr. Sam is a marine biologist, and he works for a despicable man named Mr. Cavenger. Loch doesn't think they will find anything, but then, loch discovers a baby Plesiosaur and the knowledge that Cavenger doesn't want to just find the creatures, but kill them. Zindel does a good job in telling an epic adventure with movie-like detail! Loch does have many horror elements to it such as the plesiosaur killing some people and some chilling descriptions of peoples remains being found after one of the dinosaurs were done killing them, but its more of an adventure to save the prehistoric creatures with the main characters, Loch and Zaidee. This is another one of Paul Zindels best works; it is everything that I read a book for. It seems to me that a book that is about sea horror is a lot better than any other book. I would give it 41/2 stars out of 5.

Summary: An exciting adventure and horror book
Comment: "Loch" is a great horror book. But it's not completely a horror book like you might expect it to be. Several plesiosaurs are living in a Vermont lake. Many people have told stories of seeing them, and that leads to a group of scientists wanting to capture one alive or kill it and take its remains to prove the existence of these prehistoric aquatic beasts. The man who is over the operation to find the plesiosaurs is Cavenger, and he won't let anything get in his way of finding and catching or killing one of the dinosaurs. However, after making friends with a young plesiosaur up close, the kids of some of the scientists, Loch, Zaidee, and Sarah want to help save the dinosaurs.
"Loch" does have many horror elements to it such as the plesiosaurs killing some people and some chilling descriptions of people's remains being found after one of the dinosaurs were done killing them, but it's more of an adventure to save the prehistoric creatures with the main characters, Loch and Zaidee.
I used to be real interested in the Lochness Monster headlines a few years ago before some people admitted it was a hoax, and that was the main reason I wanted to read this book. You can tell "Loch" is sort of taken from the real life Lochness Monster news of a few years back even though it doesn't say it in this book. The Lochness Monster hoax was supposed to be a plesiosaur, and the plesiosaurs in this book are right next to Lake Champlain, where a lot of people used to think a real Lochness Monster lived in real life. If you like dinosaurs and especially if you like sea-related adventures, I recommend reading "Loch." It's a well written book and it's exciting.

Summary: A Very Good Book
Comment: My first Paul Zindel book ever! LOCH kinda represents The Loch Ness Monster. In this book Loch and his sister are on a expedition with there father and hit boss who is trying to prove the existence of lake monsters. On a routine mission a water beast explodes out of the water and a photographer loses his life. These things are known as plesiosaurs and somehow there cover got blown. Loch encounters a baby plesiosaur that lost it's mother and they become friends. So Loch risks his life to save the creatures from being destroyed. The best parts were whenever a plesiosaur showed up. this is one of Paul Zindel's longest books.
