went into this with my mind open and my love for dinosaurs at an all time high. I knew this was going to be either a really ridiculously amazing read or a total fail. I am happy to say it was pretty darn ridiculous and down right funny. This isn't something you can really take seriously, I mean its contemporary YA with a dino in it. That's about as normal as the Lux series is with it's crazy Alien shenanigans. Still, I found this laugh out loud funny and very original. 
 I don't give out spoilers on PTBN but you'll find some very funny and sometimes confusing twists in this book. Pyke is definitely a pterodactyl but he seems to cause a very unique reaction to humans if he spends too much time around them. This book is great for painting a clear picture of how people perceive and treat others that are not like them. Pyke could have just as easily been replaced as a LGBTQ member of society or anyone else that does not fall into the cookie cutter mold society calls normal. He could have been a non binary person or a foreign exchange student and I think it would have all felt the same. Which is great. Seriously, I love things that help open peoples minds and make them realize just how negative they are acting. Even if its written as a massive purple pterodactyl. 
 I'll admit there a few things in here that really had me going...HUH? or WHAAAA? But I would never say in a negative way. It was more along the lines of so super hilariously cringe worthy funny that just always seemed to catch me off guard. I mean, people fall in love with a dinosaur how funny is that? 
 Overall if your looking for something super funny, love purple flying dinosaurs and enjoy semi-realistic contemporary* then I highly recommend this to you.
