A review by snazel
Dinotopia, a Land Apart from Time by James Gurney

4.0

Beautiful and incredibly fun story and illustrations, but it's interesting how early-90s this feels. I can't see such a pacifistic (vegan!) utopia flying in the era post 9/11. It's so hopeful. We just decided to leave systemic prejudice and injustice behind and moved on to utopia! Yeah, that doesn't ring quite true.

It's an interesting indictment that the social utopia is the part which I find most unbelievable, not the talking intelligent dinosaurs.
