As someone who grew up very interested in dinosaurs, this book paints a great picture of their time in the spotlight. Many of my lingering questions from them were answered, but the author is honest when it comes to the things we just don’t know yet. Alongside the dinosaurs themselves, it offers a nice insight into palaeontology and the people working in it.

There was a lot of ‘cowboy scientist’ type stories in it, which isn’t to my taste, and the description of the actual dinosaurs included depictions of evolution as improving species instead of simply changing them over time, which bothered me.
