This review is from: The Strange Creatures of Dr. Korbo (Seven Sleepers: The Lost Chronicles #3) (Paperback)

Another great book by Guilbert Morris. Josh Adams and his friends are again sent on a mission by their leader Goel to help the people of Nuworld. But when they start meeting up with giant, mutated animals in the forest and the evil Dr. Korbo, they aren't so sure Goel knows what he is doing.A thrilling adventure about the Seven Sleepers and how they learn to have faith and trust, even when things aren't going well. I would highly reccommend this book

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Strange Creatures of Dr. Korbo (Seven Sleepers: The Lost Chronicles #3) (Paperback)

alright, if you like books where everyone gets along great and the bad guys never have any feelings or a bit of a chance, then this book is just for you. i only read the first book (i couldn't find it here online), however, but that bored me out of my mind. sure, it had SOME action, but in my oppinion it is really dull, or i just cant see the goodness of this series.
i liked the plot line- seven kids encased while the world blows up- but they were just like power rangers- 'ooh look theres an enemy' 'lets go fight it' *pow* 'oooh im so tired' 'oh no we need back up' *backup comes* *blam pow crash* *enemys die* etc. (im kind of overreacting, but thats the jist of it.)
in my oppinion, morris could have REALLY jazzed up the description and characters to make it a bit interesting. but this is just my oppinion- you can read it for yourself if you like.
