Dinotopia: The World Beneath

Rating:
Summary: lovely and interesting
Review: Although you can tell this is definitely a young adult book, it was an interesting read. I've never read any Dinotopia books before, and I decided to read this after seeing Dinotopia on tv. The illustrations in this book are gorgeous. The author skipped over a lot of details, turning this into a really bare-bones story, but it was still a good read.

Summary: A pale shadow of its predecessor.
Review: As the sequel to the original Dinotopia, this book is something of a disappointment. The art is still as incredible and magical as ever. The perspective, however, has been dropped from first person to third-a very poor transition. The happy, warm suspicion that lingers in the back of your mind, telling you to believe in this peaceful island, is lost completely and leaves the story cold and even a little sappy. The art alone-for this IS an art book-keeps my rating up at 4 stars, and the fanciful tale and explanation of how the fateful journal came to leave the island is enjoyable enough.

Summary: Straight into my hart, I didn't want the story to finish
Review: Dinotopia is a place that advanced souls want to be. In this lost kingdom you find that kindness, love, purity of feelings, innocence, are part of everyday life. You look at the pictures and you become part of the scene, you wish you were in this pure world where animals and humans live in peace. James Gurney painted Dinotopia in such a detail as if he has lived there all his life. It is such a shame that the only book I could purchase was the 'World Beneath', I wish the rest of the books will be available again in the market. This is not a book only for children but also for grown up people who try to find this piece of magic that is lost somewhere between the everyday life and the problems we face daily. I am a mother and I wish we could see more of these books in the market as soon as possible. Well done James Gurney don't stop, the world needs this type of books.

Summary: No loss of glory
Review: Dinotopia is an island where dinosaurs and people live in peace, except for the carnivores that live in the Rainy Basin. This book is the sequel to Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time and it was just as good as the last Dinotopia. The sequel brought more depth to the plot without losing any of the original’s glory.

Summary: What a World!
Review: Here is a place of which dinosaurs and men walk together. Aplace where people of wrecked ships come upon. It inspired me to openmy imagination more and think about what happened. I could not decribeanything better.

Summary: Oops I think he did it again.
Review: I was pleasantly surprised to find that Gurney's second Dinotopia book is just as good as the first. The illustrations are wonderful. After reading this, I now know more about the characters in the movie Dinotopia.

Summary: The illustrations are AWESOME!!
Review: I'm a big fan of James Gurney and I love this book!!! I've read it over and over and over and I never get tired of it. I like the dinosaurs because everything is drawn to scale, and I love the pictures of the Skybaxs' flying. This is a great book for kids.
