"This was an easy book to set down. Quite frankly, fictionalizing vignettes of our evolutionary forefathers is a mixture of giving protagonist voice along with human motivations to animals (which, unless done very well, is annoying) and scattering plotless segments of dubious credibility. I would rather read National Geographic, or any other nonfiction reporting on evolution than this. I felt the whole time as if I was reading a book crafted toward winning an award, rather than a book crafted to telling a good story."
"A great story describing the ancestry of one person from the small rodent creatures that co-existed with the dinosaurs through all evolutionary changes of the human species to this day. Captivating."
"This book fictionalizes the Primate evolutionary history from its shameful origins as rodent-creatures cowering from the mighty dinosaurs to its eventual collapse in the distant future.
