A good read for any fan of dinosaurs. Much of it went straight over my head, I'm sure, but I have a better base knowledge about dinosaurs and enjoyed the author's personal anecdotes which supported and lightened the more scientific sections. Overall very understandable to a wide, not classically paleontologically trained audience

This nonfiction book is one of the most fun I’ve had reading a nonfiction book about science in my life! I love it chapter after chapter and each new one gifted me with knowledge, factoids, and one hell of an interesting story! This is a book for the entire family. If you have ever in your life been interested in dinosaurs you need to read this, and that includes all of us who are big fans of the Jurassic Park franchise! I was so entertained by the educational information in this book that I’m gonna buy a copy to keep at home to share with my husband and future children. Easy 5/5

Quite a nice and easy to read book about dinosaurs, their birth, their incredible evolution, and their "disappearance". The overall narrative is strong and the writing quite enthralling. I now want to dig the subject more—a feeling I believe speaks in great length about the quality of this book.

Great book. It's full of incredible discoveries and demonstrates the author's love of dinosaurs. There are some cringey sentences that are placed throughout to tell a story. Yet, they left me wondering if the author was possibly drinking when that one sentence was written. The beginning was dry, in my opinion, because there was an excessive amount of information at once. I struggled with reading some of the names of the dinosaurs, but fixed that by abbreviating them to first and last syllable only. For someone who does not study dinosaurs at all this book is written well to grab the attention of a general audience.
