5.0 out of 5 stars Dinoverse, December 30, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dinoverse (Hardcover)

This is honestly one of the best books I have ever read. Dinoverse, with it's clever plot and believable, realistic characters, is a fantastic read that I would recommend to anyone.
Bertram Philips, the class brainiac, has built a science fair project called the M.I.N.D. Machine(Memory INterpreter Device). But the Machine goes crazy and takes Bertram back in time. He finds himself 67 million years in the past, in the body of an Ankylosaurus. Then Bertram discovers He's not alone. 3 other students also got stranded. Mike Peterefsky, the star football player, is trapped in the form of a T. rex. Candayce Chambers, the beauty queen, becomes a thunder-thighed Leptoceratops. And finally, Janine Farehouse, a graffiti artist, is tossed into the body of a Quetzalcoatlus. Together the foursome must endure fires, floods, earthquakes, and hungry dinosaurs to reach the hilltop where lies their only chance of getting home. Along the way they learn about themselves and their lives and form lasting friendships. It's funny, adventurous, and, in places, touching. You won't regret reading this great novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dinoverse (Hardcover)

This is a really good book. It is about four jr. high kids who get sent back in the Mesazoic ( the time of the dinosaurs ). It happens when Bertram ( one of the kids ) does a science project that he calls the M.I.N.D. Machine. The M.I.N.D. Machine goes wrong and the kids are sent to the Mesazoic. The kids are Bertram, a kid who gets teased a lot and turns into a Ankylosaurs, a tank-like, spiky dinosaur, Candayce, a popular girl who turns into a Leptoceratops, a fat, pudgy dinosaur ( Candayce does NOT like to be a Leptoceratops ), Mike, a star football player who turns into a T. Rex, well everyone knows what a T. Rex is like, and last Janine, a girl who nobody likes turns into a majestic Pterodactyl, the flying one. These kids have to face the challenges of being a dinosaur in this book. Read this book to find out what happens! I would recommend this book to anybody.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dinoverse: a funny book, April 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dinoverse (Hardcover)

This book is about four kids who get sent back to the time of the dinosaurs by someone's science project. They get into a big, big mess. The book was funny, but I don't want to give away any of the jokes. The author ended the book just at the right time to make you want to read the next book.
