Dusk by Kenneth Oppel

Dusk, the book, is set in the dinosaur period when man was still an ape, yet who needs humans to make a exciting story when you have a small species fighting for survival.

Dusk, not the book, is a newborn chiropractor, a species that uses their gliders (like wings) to glide through air and eat insects (yummy). Dusk however is a bit different with strange looks and a overwhelming urge to fly. He is avoided by other chiropractors apart from his sister, mother and father, the leader of the colony.

I did enjoy reading Dusk but the main downfall was that it was 400 pages (approx). I found that even though I don't mind reading that many pages it dragged on a bit. The interesting parts I found, without giving away all the book was the way the chiropractor colony reacts to different situations such as being attacked.

An interesting book that readers who like books that have some plot and action.
