By A Customer

This review is from: Voyage of the Dolphin (Seven Sleepers Series, No. 7) (Paperback)

This book combines adventure with good spiritual values. It also teaches to love your neighbor as yourself and to care about others. His charactors are very realistic and caring. It makes you feel closer to God. It is very well written.

This review is from: Voyage of the Dolphin (Seven Sleepers Series, No. 7) (Paperback)

I hated the Seven Sleeper series! Morris just ripped off ideas from C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia." Aslan=Goel, Voyage of the Dawn Treader=Voyage of the Dolphin (And one of the main characters name is DAWN!), and the whole Underworld concept is stolen right from "The Silver Chair!" (...)

This review is from: Voyage of the Dolphin (Seven Sleepers Series, No. 7) (Paperback)

Nothing much happens in this story. It's a ripoff of Voyage of the Dawn Treader with a bit of Gulliver's Travels added in an attempt to provide some flavor. The whole book feels like it was written as an afterthought. You could easily skip it and miss nothing in the story.
