It was fine, but not for me. I like a cozy slice of life but in Dinosaurs I found the characters difficult to connect with. The whole story felt like a series of bullet points. And speaking of which, I was becoming irritated by the the punctuated, one-word or fragmented sentences by the end. Choppy. I didn’t care about Gil and found him weak. Maybe I’m more of a Lane than a Sarah.
