Customer Reviews

A challenging but interesting story

Dinoverse is a challenging but interesting story. Dinoverse is a great book about a kid that gets almost no attention in school but is very smart and has made a great science project. It works when he first uses it but something goes wrong and it sends him and three other students into the past as dinosaurs. See how four very different students try to escape the past and get back in their own body's before they are stuck forever but it is hard enough just to stay alive. I give this book four out of five stars. I gave it this rating because it could have been more exiting but was almost perfect otherwise. The conflict was that four kids are stuck in the past in dinosaur's bodies. The book wasn't incredibly exiting but it was fun to read about all of there troubles as they try to get back to the present. The conflict was easy to remember the conflict throughout the story but it is easy to forget what happened earlier in the story. I like the way that things turned out at the end of the story. The conflict was resolved. Expect a good story that could leave you on the edge of your seat. You will never know what is about to happen in this book but I promise you will love the story. It will leave you breathless.

Dinoverse

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.

Dinosaur Dominion

An example of time displacement, as in Footprints Of Thunder. Ciencin has once again written a fantastic book about Dinosaurs. I would also recommend reading Dinotopia: Lost City by. Scott Ciencin!!!

Dinoverse: a funny book

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.

Great Book!

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.
