What a quick-paced narrative this is! I like the narrator's tone - it feels like you're being talked to by a friend which helps balance the somber topics of grief and loss. Let's be honest: the fascination with dinosaurs and tying their inevitable demise with life (and the bookstore). Did the dinosaurs know that they were living in the end? Do we now? These are questions I think about often these days, and this is an easy way to reflect on these ideas without doom and gloom. Maybe.
This isn't something that I'd normally pick up, but I'm thankful that I gave the excerpt a try. I can tell this is building to a powerful story.
