Love in the Time of Dinosaurs by Kirsten Alene
4.0
This book was an adventure. Taking place in an alternate universe where dinosaurs (or Jeremy as they are called) are man-hungry killers with machine guns, katanas and flying disc blades of doom (WHAT!?) You follow the life of a monk, who has feared the Jeremy all of his life. Raised in a militant world where every day he goes out and patrols for Jeremy, protecting his fellow man. But then he sees Petunia. She's a different kind of Jeremy, one who isn't interested in chomping into his gut and flossing with his entrails. She's peaceful, and beautiful and warm, and everything changes.
This book was such a quick read, and (as bizarro fiction is want to do) there are a lot of liberties taken with the world of physics, but I loved the main character and he kept me reading.
There were moments of absolute truth and beauty in Alene's writing, contrasted with a whole lotta ugly and gore, and all-in-all I was very satisfied with the tale.
