The thing that i really like about this book is that Neil Shubin writes the novel in a way in which it is very clear for the readers to understand. The way Shubin writes this novel, like Ejay said, is like he is talking to the readers rather than just giving you boring facts. This method of talking to the reader pulls the reader into wanting to continue to read the novel. The fact that Shubin puts pictures and diagrams in the novel makes the readers understand what Shubin and other paleontologists have to go through.
The thing that interested me about the novel was the founding of the "Tiktaalik". Like the preschoolers at Subin's son's preschool, I also imagined the "Tiktaalik" fossils to look like a crocodile. It is fasinating to learn about how we humans have evolved from fish. Like Ellie said, it is very hard to compare myself to a fish. The long process from fish to human is incredibly amazing and is a great learning experience.
