A review by dinosaurhorrorshow
Bone Sharps, Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards by Jim Ottaviani

5.0

This is such a unique and awesome graphic novel. It has a great mix of historical facts and humour. The true story itself is pretty comical, the rivalry between Cope and Marsh was a embarrassing time in paleotological history but I think it's good that people know about it because of the dispute of Brontosaurus. I think it was terrible that they knew Brontosaurus wasn't a real dinosaur after the whole thing happened, but the reason they couldn't change it was because Marsh was held a high position in the USGS. I also like that at the end of the book there is a fact and fiction section telling what they added to make the story more exciting and what was actually true which makes the whole story so much more interesting. This is a hard book to find but deffinitly check it out, expecially if you are interested in the history of paleontology.
