I enjoyed the setting, and always find fossils fascinating. Though I would have enjoyed a bit more learning about this.
Unfortunately I found the book to be a bit irritating. Although the story points were intriguing and I wanted to find out what was going to happen, the characters let it down. Their stupidity and self-sabotaging drove me bananas. Dave was the one redeeming character - loved him. The relationships were so frustrating and I wanted to slap the main character.
The narrator, although good at doing the voices etc. read like it was a children's book - so much enthusiasm which really didn't suit the dark and mysterious nature of the book.
