Review: Loved This Book! - For anyone who likes dinosaurs and prehistoric life this is a College-Level education but written in a very accessible way. The writing style is so good, so informative and easy to digest. Some parts touch on the in-depth science but never so deep that you drown in information or statistics. Every aspect of this book is enjoyable and inspiring. There are some books that when finished you know you will read again some day. I am tempted to restart right now. From the earliest times of the precursors of dinosaurs through the myriad types, with an occasional focus on one or two, and then through to the end of this amazingly successful lineage of dinosaurs. This book has it all. Did I say I loved it? Well I do.
Review: Dinosaur science made compelling - This is the second of Steve Brusatte's books that I have read and , like the book on mammals, I was hooked by how this author explains how dinosaurs evolved and the worlds in which they lived. It is a real page-turner but also has the advantage over other dinosaur books that I have read insofar that it considers the geographical distribution of dinosaurs so that you can appreciate not only how dinosaur's evolved but an understanding of how they were distributed. I had never really thought about why this was the case. The science is clear and concise to read. There is a lot about the scientists who made the discoveries or explored the data to go beyond the fossil record and explain more about the ecosystems in which these dinosaurs lived. I think that the efforts to understand the ecosystems of those times goes a long way towards making the prehistoric animals more realistic. I love the way that the dinosaurs are made to fit into their landscapes. This book makes them more understandable with sauropods being described as being adapted for differing plant diets. There is so much to recommend about this book although the two closing chapters and bird evolution and the extinction of the dinosaurs were stand outs for me. I think that there are three elements of this book that could improve it. I wish that there was a picture of every dinosaur mentioned and also think that this book is so fascinating that I could have read another 400 pages. Combining the familiar with the unfamiliar, I wish that he had looked a other dinosaurs or considered other parts of the globe like Australia. Everything Steve Brussatte mentions really grabbed my attention and I felt I wanted to learn more as this world was both so alien and was wildly different for my days of collecting dinosaur tea cards. Whilst this book is recommended, the sequel that dealt with the rise of mammals is even more fascinating and more relatable. I would recommend the dinosaur book but suggest that the sequel is so thought-provoking that it will change your perspective whenever you visit a zoo. I hope that this author will write more on prehistoric animals. The books are impossible to put down. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good with one or two irritating flaws
*by C***D on 6 March 2019*

I have always been interested in paleontology in a very, very amateur way. I found this book very readable but the scientific names of the fossils used are hard to keep track of in my ageing brain. By the time I was about halfway through, though still enjoying the information, and admiring the ingenuity and intelligence that had gone into it's finding, I started to wonder what sort of people make a living by studying and devoting untold resources to finding out if a 100 million year old dead fossilised animal had this characteristic or another. All of the characters (fellow scientists) mentioned by the author sound like people I would be happy to avoid and would never, ever go to the pub with. His thumbnail sketches of these people can be summed up as wierdo obsessive geeks. This did put a bit of a damper on my enjoyment of the information being presented. Call me odd but there it is. When the author devotes himself to "factual" information he can write very well indeed his description of the Asteroid impact that did for the dinosaurs is very good as is his explanation of how dinosaurs did, in fact, survive to the present day... as birds. It was not quite the book I hoped for or expected but it is very good and I recommend it.
