The plot was enjoyable, but I felt like a retelling with modern attitudes would have been pretty nice. The colonial and sexist vibes are tiresome, you really have to put that to the side to get on with this book.
There's two main themes, one is the dinosaur(ish) adventure, the other is a derpy attempt at romance - hilariously a character named a lake he 'discovered' after his crush, and the author goes "lol no bro, she just ain't into you" everyone else can see it clearly. At the end of the book he prefers to return to the dinosaurs where he can live in bisexual freedom (well, that's how I interpreted it).
The dinos are a fun romp, but it all gets a bit dramatic with the ape men savages and the minor characters are dropping like flies.
