4.0
The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs and The Rise and Reign of the Mammals by Steve Brusatte are two books on Paleontology. These books demonstrate the value of good science writers by counterexample. In between interesting anecdotes from the field, biographical sketches, and fascinating accounts of evolution in action, the author falls into the trap of academic writing with long lists of acknowledgments, obscure technical terminology, and Latin names. If you can skip the boring part, the books are great.

Detailed and approachable. Brusatte has an amusing authorial voice. I somehow liked it even more than his dinosaur book.
