If you like dinosaurs you NEED to read this book. It is perfect for all ages (I'm 17 and absolutely loved it) from 5th grade and up. The illustrations paired with lot of scientific information was amazing and the explanations were easy to understand. It was funny informative, showed an ACCURATE depiction of mesozoic creatures, and overall a joy to read.

This was very much a guilty pleasure read for me... and I loved it. I knew exactly what was going to happen all the way up to the end but it was just such an entertaining story. I really liked the ending, this was a very fast, drama-filled, and feel good book.

I love this book so much. The writing style is beautiful to me and the plot around the pandemic is just so interesting to me. I am so curious to know what happened to Kirsten in Year One but I don't think there's going to be another book sadly. If anyone has any recommendations for similar books I would love to hear it.

This is a warning sign for our future in the form of a post-apocalyptic dystopian novel.

Reading The Electric Kingdom was like putting together pieces of a jigsaw puzzle (note that I LOVE puzzles). There is some light romance, a theme of family, and note a slight trigger warning for sexual assault (it is not described at all just mentioned).

This book reminds me in a strange way of the 2016 movie Arrival... I won't give too much away but you should really really read this book.

Also the story of Kit calling Dakota "my Dakota" is so heart-meltingly sweet.

Would have been 5 stars if the ending wasn’t ass. Genuinely so disappointed because I loved the rest of the book so much, but no matter how you look at it the ending is just unsatisfying.
