I LOVE weird and odd books if done right. The writing was long and boring. There were things that didn't need to be in the book and reasons for bringing up race when it didn't need to be brought up? It felt so much like he was trying to include EVERYONE, which is fine if done right.This is the second fucking book I read where someone was writing this whack ass story and then trying to shove a “lesson” into it. I don't mind a book that talks about injustice and the things that go on in the world but for the love of all things good stop trying to do that in books like this and doing it so fucking poorly. It is a slap in the face. It is half assed and so minimally done. It is like saying I am not racist because I have a __ friend. BITCH SAY WHAT? Why are you using something so serious for your dino spirit mysteries? I wanted to scream at this book.Then the whole calling HUMAN BABIES a pet? Like bitch what? Luke is a joke. This book was ALL OVER THE PLACE. Simon was so... LACKING for something he shouldn't have been lacking in. He was written as if by an angsty teen. Luke was trying to make FETCH happen when in all honesty it wasn't going to.I will say the only thing good about this book was the Dino spirits and the kinda twist at the end. I won't lie, I was a bit confused. I like the idea of being haunted by dinos but this book isn't going to be the thing that puts them in their own sub genre.
