I read this aloud to my wife and we were both fascinated. I read to myself The Ends of the World by Brannen a few years ago on all the mass extinctions but it was interesting to read the details about the K-Pg one, with chapters on the impact, the first day, first month, first year and other periods of lapsed time. It's written in a journalistic style - approximate since the author is a journalist - which makes it an easy read, but she has a chapter at the end explaining some of scientific findings on which she based and the sources of her more speculative reconstructions.
One of the better books I've read on the subject, with some thoughtful insights I haven't seen elsewhere, including intellectual connections between the religious right and creationism.
