Probably the best dinosaur book I’ve read. Most of the non fiction books usually needs illustrations to keep the reader captivated(at least in my experience). The writer explains every part so well that even a person who knows nothing about palaeontology will get a grasp on how it works after reading it,the only thing I could find inaccurate was the size estimate of t.rex,in which it was given 6 tons(it was closer to or larger than 10 tons) other than that. It’s an amazing book,5/5.

I highly recommend this book for any dinosaur enthusiast. It has beautiful illustrations(emphasising on the word beautiful)and showcases interesting ideas about dinosaur and their discoveries. Like for example,we have evidence of sauropods swimming. That’s something most people have absolutely no idea about. There are many interesting discoveries like this mentioned in the book. Though I must say,they should’ve added illustrations on the more important parts.(like for example the difference between ornithischians and saurischian hips,it’s just described without any illustrations and is just left there for the reader to imagine,every good dino book I’ve read talks about this with illustrations) though they are very few. It’s also very accurate overall,the most inaccurate thing I could find was an allosaurus fighting a diplodocus,though it is excusable since it looks like a juvenile or sub adult. In the end,it’s a 5/5,highly recommended.
