Book Description:
The book that started the New York Times bestselling collaboration of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Just days before a massive exhibition opens at the popular New York Museum of Natural History, visitors are being savagely murdered in the museum's dark hallways and secret rooms. Autopsies indicate that the killer cannot be human...

But the museum's directors plan to go ahead with a big bash to celebrate the new exhibition, in spite of the murders.

Museum researcher Margo Green must find out who-or what-is doing the killing. But can she do it in time to stop the massacre? Special lower priced edition available for a limited time.

This was a great book. It's been years since I've seen the movie, so I only remembered bits and pieces and a lot was as it happened in the book. (I'll have to watch the movie again now just for old times' sake.) I didn't find it too scary, since it takes a lot to freak me out, but the suspense was really good and the storyline wonderful. I liked the character Pendergast, but noticed he wasn't in the cast for the movie when I IMDBed it to get a "visual" of the main characters. I was hooked into the book early and am looking forward to reading the sequel.

Great page turner for all those science and museum geeks among us. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy the mystery of terrifying slayings...perhaps caused by an inhuman creature?

Monster in the museum. It takes a researcher, a professor, a cop and an FBI agent to figure it all out. I saw the movie and hated it. Very Sci-Fi channel with a scooby doo ending. The book is better and interesting enough to read the sequel.

Exciting story with some twists. Much, much better than the movie.

Even though I have seen the movie, book was quite different and I found it a great read. Different characters & I also loved FBI agent Pendergast (he is not in the movie version at all).
