Hand of Dinotopia

You would love to read this book if you are a science fiction kind of person. It couldn't really happen but it is cool to think it could. If you have read any of the other Dinotopia books, you will love this one.

I loved this book! the writing was descriptive and this book was written in great detail. I can't wait to read the others!

It was a great book and I have only one complaint: I really, really wish it had a map at the beginning showing all of Dinotopia and including all the place names mentioned in the story. I loved the story itself though and Alan Dean Foster's unique ability to describe fictional settings and people is what makes this book great. An awesome addition to the world of Dinotopia.

"The Hand Of Dinotopia" has a good story line, but I did not care too much for the writing style; it was a bit too dry. The story is about two young humans, and a dinosaur, who go questing for something called the Hand of Dinotopia that supposedly points the way to a safe sea route in and out of Dinotopia, which is surrounded by deadly currents and reefs that can smash boats to pieces. The trio soon find something amazing in the middle of 'The Great Desert,' which is unexplored and unknown to all but a very few dinotopians. Before too long the group becomes larger as the humans and dinosaurs continue their quest in search of the Hand of Dinotopia, but the question is: do they find what they're looking for . . .? An entertaining book, good story line, and rather suspenseful, providing a mystery to curious and willing readers.

This is a good book. I like a all the dinosaurs and the well-crafted characters. Everything is decribed so carefully you feel as if you're really there Highly recommended.
