Thank you for reading my review! I feel if I had added much more I would have given things away. The truth is, the plot is quite simple but the emotions behind it is where most of the writing happened.

The juxtaposition of the man and Allosaurus intrigues me; I think I should look into this book. Thanks for the persuasive review:)

I was hesitant at first but I came to enjoy the dual storylines!

It does sound like a tough one from a human angle.

I love the human-dinosaur analogy. Very eccentric. Fabulous review!

Interesting review indeed. At first I was very confused about the book, but your insights helped clear up a lot. I was not interested, but now I am definitely curious... Thank you for the very well written review!

Thanks for taking the time to read my review! If you end up reading the book, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I started out wanting to read this book until I read that it has child abuse, child molestation, spousal abuse, sexual abuse, incest and whatnot. Too bad side the dinosaur part had me.

Yes, I was totally blindsided by this when reading! I can't say I hated it, but I was uncomfortable while reading. Having not been prepped by the jacket blurb (or anything of the like), I wasn't ready emotionally to process these topics.

Oh you've read it too! I would love to read your review, I often second guess my own critiques. :eusa-think:

Thanks much for helpful review. I’m putting this one on my Want To Read shelf as a result. You already had me at “...a path to atonement after stretching the limits of human compassion and morality” but the inclusion of the various human emotional challenges you mentioned sound interesting to me, as well.

Thanks for this review! I'm not fond of reading anything dark and evil so I don't think I will enjoy reading this! Especially the part about child abuse and incest. Loved your review though, it helped in my decision.
