I hated a book everyone else loved

a few weeks ago, I was looking for a book to read so I picked up Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Everyone was saying it was a masterpiece and that you should go in blind, and that I would love it.

I liked it at first, with the whole journal entry style and odd setting. But as the story went on and I was waiting for more of a plausible explanation for these things, why does this strange realm exist? who are the dead bodies? things like that. Ultimately, I found the conclusion of this story lackluster. I was very disappointed with how things turned out. Maybe I just didn't care for Clarkes style, but I just feel a little burned. I don't get what all the hype was about.

Need help finding a movie

Hi this might sound strange but I only recall one scene of this movie. There were like a bunch of little dinosaurs running around and outside a house and on top of a car. I think they kind of looked like velociraptors though much smaller. I think the movie was a comedy.

Could a telescope see the beginning of the universe?

Okay, I had a question that maybe an astrophysicist could answer. If any part of this reasoning is incorrect please let me know:

We are told that the universe is around 14 billion years old. One lightyear is the distance light travels in a year. This is why when there is a picture of another galaxy people say we are not seeing the other galaxies as they are but as they appeared when the light traveled there. If you could devise a telescope that could see 14 billion lightyears away and you pointed in a direction would you see what it looked like 14 billion years ago i.e. the beginning of the universe?
