Media Reviews
Zindel is a master at creating and sustaining a mood, and Raptor is no exception. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL Paul Zinde's graphic stories Raptor and Bats had boys of 10 and over queing to order copies. Although revolting gory, they are well written and extremely fast moving. Publishing News, April 2001 Not for the fainthearted, Zindel has found a formula that will entice the teen reader.

In 1971 he won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds and, more recently, published an autobiographical account of his formative years, The Pigman and Me. Paul Zindel lived in Montague, New Jersey until his death in 2003 at the age of 66.
