I remember liking Underland, though I think at the time I was still under the influence of Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds, which blew my socks off in the deep time category. IIRC, Otherlands felt more like a travel book and Otherlands more like a science book, if that makes sense.
ooh I have not read Otherlands but will check that out! (you did say "Otherlands" twice in your last sentence, by the way, but the comparison makes sense.)
Lol, think I was having a bad day when I made that comment, so no surprise there was a mistake like that in it! I mean the one you read felt more travel-ey to me, while Otherlands felt more sciencey. Otherlands was dense stuff, but still I ended up loving how in-depth it went into what the different areas were like at that time.
In looking around, I think that they now have an illustrated version of Otherlands out, too, which you might want to check out. That was one thing about Otherlands that I thought would be really helpful: some pics of the creatures involved.
