Summary: HISTORY is GREAT, October 18, 2002
Review: The book was great and people don't appreciate the topics stated in the book. Many people just skimmed through the book and found it horrible but if you read it for meaning, you will find the book to be very good.

Summary: Interesting ideas about our ancestors...
Review: There are really two, very parallel, stories told in this book, and they are only separated by a couple of million years. In the present, a young teenager named Vinny has convinced her mother to let her spend summer vacation with her father in Africa. Her father, Sam, is working in an archeological site in Africa without much success. Vinny turns out to be his good luck charm. Flip back to the past and we see a teenager called Li that is half-ape, half-human that thinks way beyond her time. Each chapter goes back and forth between past and present. A couple of times I was lost in the paleontology talk and the present storyline was a bit boring, but I liked the author's way of describing the past storyline.

Summary: You Liars...this books stinks!!
Review: This book was poorly written. The relation between the two stories was minimal. The story was hard to follow, 'cause I can't read when I fall asleep from boredom. The descriptions gave me no pictures in my mind, Dr. Hamiska was a big blur, and I only got a picture of the heat, which I honestly don't CARE about. It was a real page turner...I was eager to finish the book, and get it over with. I wouldn't have read it if my teacher didn't assign it. My dog refused to eat the pages I ripped out, and seemed to, much like me, think the book stunk.

Summary: THIS BOOK WAS WORTH NOTHING BUT A PILE OF DUNG!
Review: This Book was rely boring. I fell asleep after reading two pages. I will never sugjest this book to any one. Here is a list of what the book had. It had a sleeping pill along with the words. To go to sleep read this book. A horible description. Vinny never followed through on what happened. Li was ok but thear could have been a battle, instead of running away. This book could have a beter ending, like Dr. Hamiska geting killed by Watson. Anna May and Dad should have gotton married. A summary of this book is: And then... He... yawn... was... yawn... fired... zzz...zzz...zzz...zzz I read it for a lit book and I hated it. My hole group did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very different times. The stories cross in that Vinny and
her father are working on an archeological dig at the site of the
inland sea that Li knew thousands of years before. Anthor great story from Peter Dickinso

Summary: maginatve topic
Review: Vinny has convinced her mother to let her spend summer vacation with her father in Africa. Her father, Sam, is working in an archeological site in Africa without much success. Vinny comes and accidentaly matches a pair of broken skull and Dr. Hamiska, the leader of the site, begins to call her his lucky charm . Dr. Hamiska takes her to a site without much incident and Vinny finds something that wil change history and the world view of human evolution. Millions of years earlier, in the same place a small girl in-between ape and human begins to open her mind. She lives in a Sea-ape tribe accustomed to life on the beach. Her name is Li and gradually her mind is opening up to the world around her. A large current of problems makes the tribe look to her for help and her decision will forever change the future of humanity. A Bone From A Dry Sea is an interesting view into the world of paleontology and the cornerstone of evolution from ape to human. The author chose a unique way of writing by telling the story of these two girls in separate worlds by alternating chapters. Every chapter alternates between past and present. You begin to notice that what happens in the past world is repeated in the present. For example, a male begins to battle the dominant male for power and the same kind of battle for dominance occurs with Dr. Hamiska and Vinny's father. Which goes to show that some things never change.
