Dinotopia by James Gurney5/28/2023 This is supposed to take place hundreds (if not thousands) of years earlier, where there are giant robots powered by steam generated by sunstones. just what the reader imagines? It all breaks apart for me.Īlso, it is a prequel to the original two books, which are set in the 1800s. So the illustrations (created in the same style!) are now. This book has no correlation to the journal, and is instead supposed to be a reading of a historic scroll in Dinotopia. Gurney's magnificent illustrations are painted very loosely (over extremely tight drawings) which even gives the feel that the illustrations are part of the journal. The conceit of the first two books is rock solid - a professor and his son arrive in a strange land and document their adventures in a journal - which you are reading. Ugh! I enjoy each book in this series less and less.
