Summary: Quick "car read"
Review: My son wrote the following mini-review:Young Milo Thatch sets out with a crew of people to find Atlantis. Their sub is downed by a gigantic metal crab. Escaping in sub-pods, the crew -- what's left of it -- makes camp. Milo stumbles into a cave, finding the entrance to the lost empire, Atlantis. Will Thatch live to tell the tale? Find out in this extraordinary book. A great read for "junk entertainment." It moves right along; it's easy to read and enjoyable. I read it in less than a day. Its 14-point type makes this junior novelization of the Disney movie (released today) a great book for the car. For other books that fit this description, check out Episode I (kid's version), Titan AE (the junior novelization), and the Animorph series.

Summary: An appealing mix of action and solid characterization
Review: Parents and children are encouraged to enjoy this 'read aloud' storybook together. Atlantis: The Lost Empire holds the classic Disney illustrations and a very lively plot parents will appreciate - an appealing mix of action and solid characterization for the very young as well as those with some basic reading skills.

Summary: Hope the movie is as exciting as the book!
Review: Since there was no actual standard book for Atlantis, I found myself buying the junior novelization. The story is taken from the actual screenplay from which the movie is based on. We start with a small backstory to the destruction of Atlantis, and then fastforward to the year 1914, where Museum Linguist Milo Thatch is proposing that a search be mounted to find the Lost Continent. However, none of the museum's staff thinks the legend is true. Milo gets a big surprise when he is asked to visit a wealthy man who knew his grandfather. There, he finds the Shepherd's Journal, a collection of text giving the location of Atlantis. The wealthy tycoon then funds Milo's expedition with a number of people, including a medical officer, engineer, a demolitions expert, and more. There is more to the story, but I don't want to ruin the entire thing. There is plenty of action, and some areas are only written vaguely as if we are meant to skip over several areas, but in all, a nice overview. Probably the one thing ... was their choices for the 8 color photographs in the book from the film. Many of them don't quite convey the types of involving images, but the story(at about 126 pages) should make for an interesting read.

Summary: Great Cover Nice Book
Review: This is very good for a book of this type. I liked the way the story unfolded. It is well written but I wished that the pictures had more detail.

Summary: Atlantis
Review: With all the action-packed thrills promised in Atlantis, you'd think the people making this flipbook would have added some really impressive shots. Instead, we have one shot of a ship exploding, and then the ATlantean guardian, dubbed the Leviathan, rushing towards us, and a flip side flipbook image has an image of mechanical vehicles rushing past. Definitely not worth the $4 price tag, more like $1.50.
