  • Truly Awesome Novel!

    The shortest thing I can say is that "THIS BOOK IS WONDERFUL". Full of heart, science, romance, family relationships, bravery, danger, some sadness and so much information about what a UTAHRAPTOR'S life might have been like. I'm 67, and have read a zillion good novels in my life. This is definitely one of them, and I'm sure I'll read it again someday. I was sorry to get to the end. Dr. Bakker must have a huge heart and even huger imagination/knowledge to have written this book. I am truly awed.

  • Read it if you like dinosaurs

    Liking the book so far. The book minds me a lot of documentaries about dinosaurs, but more on the visual side of story telling then factual. I can easily imagine how this story would play in motion when I pick up the book and read.

  • Great book

    I read this in high school, and it is one of the best novels I've ever read. I recommend this for anyone who like not only dinosaurs but history in general.
