Rating:  Summary: T-REX will always be the big boy on the block! Review: This is not just another dinosaur book. It is not just another dinosaur book with some fascinating facts about T-rex. This is THE book about T-rex by one of the foremost authorities on this bad boy of the Cretaceous. Peter Larson's intimate knowledge of this beast comes from excruciatingly hard-earned experience. While it is a recounting of the nightmare saga surrounding the Sue specimen, it is also a manifest of the current thinking regarding T-rex, its lifestyle, and place in prehistory. Despite his own grievous experiences with the legal system, there is no self-pity in Mr. Larson's book. He simply states the facts as he knows them to be, as any researcher worth his salt should. An A+ all the way.
Rating:  Summary: Riveting! Review: What a read! Larson packs more info about dinosaurs into these pages than almost any book on the subject, all in a style that's not dry at all. His story of discovery and government persecution is unbelievable. This guy should be a hero. And Donnan knows how to tell a story! What a team. I'd highly recommend this over Tyrannosaurus Sue, which doesn't nearly have the inside details that this does.
