It is said that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. Sounds like the pictures didn't hit their word count with his one. I don't think this one's for me. Great review though!

This book is very confusing and there are just too many things that are amiss here. Firstly, the cover page suggests that it is a children's book. And then there are unclear images that prove nothing. Why would you put unclear images as proof here?? I am not reading this one. Sounds like a waste of time.

Sounds like the book relies heavily on the photos, and the photos aren’t that believable. I’ll pass on this one!

This book sounds great, but the blurry pictures are really a disappointment if one of the main points of the book was to show them off.

Thanks for the honest review concerning this book. I have to admit that at first glance I thought this was going to be a science fiction book, not non-fiction. After reading your review I'm going to pass on this book. While I do believe in extraterrestrial beings, I don't think that this book will be a good fit for me. It seems the author decides to stretch a few things inorder to put them in the book. As the pictures are grainy I feel that the book should not have been based around them.

I was surprised to see that this wasn't a children's book! I don't think this genre is for me. But I can see the appeal! Thanks for the review

You’ve given a very thoughtful review with helpful details. I must admit my reaction to this book was far different. I can’t recommend it. Maybe it’s meant for a different audience.

"Dino's World" by Shawn Taverner about his discovery of "aliens" that look like dinosaurs. I am really confused about the exact genre this novel is supposed to be given the childish book cover, the serious tone of the book and the material about "ship with dinosaur crew". Congratulations on BOTD, but I am going to pass on reading the book.

It is nice that the book is professionally edited. I understand your point about the pictures. I am glad that you liked reading the book overall though. Congrats to the author on the 3/4 rating.

I initially thought that this might be a children's book from it's cover and book title. So, I was interested in it. But, not being convincing is not a good point for a nonfiction. So, I don't think I'd be reading it. But thanks so much for your thoughtful and honest review.

Great review! I also am unconvinced by the pictures, as I have just sampled a smidget of the book and was thoroughly confused by the pictures I saw with captions explaining what I should have been seeing. I think your recommendations are accurate in this case. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like it's a great read. I am intrigued by all things alien since I was a child. I would love to her more. Awesome review! :ugeek2:

After glancing at this book, I thought today's BOTD was a children's book about dinosaurs, however, it's a story of desire for extraterrestrial beings to be real. This isn't my cup of tea. Thanks for the review.

I have never thought E.T as real, so I am surprised to see a book that makes its sound like the real stuff. Thanks for the review.
