I like dino bones! But I'm not much of an essay/short story reader. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Guest Post: Philipp Meyer (American Rust) =-.

This definitely seems like the type of book that doesn't really work when read from cover to cover. Maybe it's more of a 'read-an-essay-when-I've-got-a-spare-hour' sort of book? I agree that it does sound interesting at first review, though. The Reader I'm a Bookworm .-= The Reader´s last blog ..JACK FRUSCIANTE HAS LEFT THE BAND, by Enrico Brizzi =-.

By the description it sounds like there would be a conclusion. Too bad that it didn't have one. Why, then, would I read it? .-= Stacy´s last blog ..The Sister, by Poppy Adams =-.

No conclusion? I can't say I blame him. Conclusions are so hard to write - every blog post I write, I dread them. .-= EL Fay´s last blog ..I ♥ Art =-.

I like essays, the National Cathedral, and New Mexico, so I'd probably enjoy this even without a conclusion. As for the dinosaur bones...maybe I could just skim that part. .-= JoAnn´s last blog ..TSS: The Right Book at the Right Time =-.

Thanks for the review – I think I’ll skip this one.

From what you describe I think a conclusion would have been nice. The title really makes you stop and think and got me wanted to know more right away. Follow through is necessary! .-= Nicole´s last blog ..One Amazing Thing, by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni =-.

I would have been suckered in by the title, too. The copyright date would put me off a bit, though, and, now that I’ve read your review, I suppose I’ll skip it. Thank you.

It does sound interesting but one would presume he had a point to make that he just didn't seem to want to make. .-= Lisa´s last blog ..The Summer We Fell Apart =-.
