Summary: The dinosaur's perspective
Review: Reading the dinosaur record is reading much conjecture and hypothesis. Although the theories are straightforward for the scientist and enthusiast, the average reader may have difficulty following the terminology and statistics. This narrative, however, makes the dinosaur legacy into an easy-to-follow story.We follow the life of a female Utahraptor known as Raptor Red. The author allows you to see and feel things from her perspective as he tells you about life in the time of the dinosaurs. We read of the other dinosaurs and how they interacted with the raptors. We follow Raptor Red on the hunt as well as courtship. We also read of the smaller mammals as a foreshadowing of how the dominant species will change. At no time does this book read like a textbook. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn a bit more about our dinosaur predecessors.

Review: This wonderful, jewel of a book takes the reader millions of years into the past. It is an exciting story of just how dinosaur life might have been. Bakker offers a scientific look into the world of the Raptor. His ideas are very well offered and he manages to keep an amazing amount of action throughout the story. He pulls at the emotions and feeds the mind at the same time. I just wish he would do other dinosaur based novels. Wonderful read! If you grew up like me, loving dinosaurs, this is a book for you! Bakker seems to be a supporter of evolutionary theory, but the book is a great story none the less.
