Book Review: The Dinosaur Four

This is actually from the author's page. Cute!!

I'm an extremely niche reader, and I hate myself for it. I try not to put myself in such a small bubble, but I rarely get into book series unless it really hooks me, and 9/10 times it's a fantasy book of some kind. I mean like with elves and dragons and stuff.
There are some exceptions, like I'm a massive fan of the Parasol Protectorate by Gail Carriger, of course the Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin (but who isn't, right? -_- ), and a total dork about The King Killer Trilogy (Name of the Wind) by Patrick Rothfuss.
I dabble in other things, picking up suggestions here and there, but none of them are ever dinosaur related...much to my dismay. So you can imagine the joy I felt when The Dinosaur Four by Geoff Jones was on sale for $0.99, a book I had never even heard about until that moment.
And it turned out to be good!!

It's not a long read at all, only about 291 pages. It's an action/adventure book with some killer death scenes and amazing detail about the dinosaurs. He really makes these creatures seem gross and brutal, which is exactly how they would be. The t-rex has feathers, the hardosaurs are territorial, and the humans characters are pretty alright too. Haha! No, really, they're awesome. You love some, hate others, people get stomped to death and you have a good time.

The basic synopsis of the story is a bunch of random strangers get transported to the Cretaceous while sitting in a coffee diner one afternoon. They have to figure out what the hell happened and how to get back to their time while surviving in that time period.
The pacing is great, the action doesn't really lull at all, and again...the book is kinda brutal. No one is safe and it's awesome.
I will admit that the ending kinda made my brain hurt, because it delve into time travel paradoxes that will make you have to stop and think for a second. Maybe it was just me, but I kinda got lost for a bit.
Very possible I just don't grasp the concept well.

TL;DR
It's good. Buy it, support the author, have a good time. Cool dinos, people die, it's fun.
