ttodd86's review against another edition
1.0
Despite my best efforts, I abandoned this mess. It's written at maybe a fifth or sixth grade level +-and reads like a poorly written junior high term paper. No noting of sources, lots of speculation and lots of redundancy to meet some kind of word count goal.
Based on other reviews, I've been led to believe there is actually some science and explanation in a lengthy appendix, but I'm not going to waste more time on this one. Some advice to the author: while you seemed intent on writing full chapters of speculation about what may have happened, perhaps a better way to handle this would have been a couple of paragraphs, and then transition to the science.

I really wanted to love this. Like many millennials, I grew up fascinated by creatures of the past- but especially dinosaurs. I was expecting a deep dive into new (relative to when I was a child) discoveries and theories about the last days of the dinosaurs, but instead I was given a so-so storytelling from the animals' perspective, which came off as childish to me. This book is better suited for someone with no prior knowledge.
