While rafting, Billy, Beau and their father suddenly fall into another world of dinosaurs, Neanderthals, robots and aliens. Somehow Billy makes it back to Earth, becomes a scientist and spends the next 20 years trying to get back to the strange world to rescue his sister Beau. When he does, he inadvertently takes along five grad students, and finds the valley has changed from the land he once knew. A novel Michael Crichton would have been proud to write, this non stop novel is a page turner with a clever plot, interesting characters, and complex but understandable scientific information. I was sorry to see it end, and although I have questions, they can wait.
The title however is horrible, and doesn’t fit this novel at all, even though a junk drawer analogy is briefly mentioned. There is nothing about God and religion thankfully in this book, and the title belittles the whole. It’s a turnoff to reading the book.

This book was very well done. Definitely inspired by <i>Land of the Lost</i> and similar shows, but there's a consistent story that holds together for the whole novel. Some cool action scenes, several viewpoint characters (from different eras) and the 'drawer' itself is a mysterious setting that we eventually find out the truth behind.

Absolutely loved this book. This is what I dreamed of when I was a kid! Or was afraid of it... or both.
I grew up reasding Jules Verne, watching every movie that was inspired by Journey to the Centre of the Earth, dreaming of time travel, and stargazing for the fast moving spots on the sky hoping they were starships. This book is all of it and something totally different.
I was enchanted for the first chapter and enjoyed every single moment (except the destiny of one of them I really liked). Emotional and imaginative SciFi adventure, full of twist and pop culture references!

I finished it couple of days ago and can't stop thinking of it. The end was epic! Can't wait to have my physical copy of the book.
