#summer learning project

Book 1 of my summer project.

This book was amazing! There are so many facts and things I will remember. How 1 million years is basically nothing in terms of evolution. How much patience you must have as a palentologist. How sometimes theories can only be proven long after you are dead. But most of all, how modern birds now are actually real dinosaurs. They didn't just evolve out of them, they are now placed in the same brance as dinosaurs and that is so exciting!

Riley Black is very good at writing you inside the story. It really feels as if I am standing there in Hell's Creek, next to the T-Rex, slowly realising something is wrong. But she doesn't just stay in Hell's Creek, she also zooms out to other places, showing us what is going on there.

This will be a fascinating read but also sad, because you already know in large what has happened, but now I will read about it in more detail (she does mentioned that they don't know everything that happened, but they know a lot).

A small start on my learning project for summer. I barely read a few pages but it's alreay so fascinating!
