Reviews
Thrilling . . . the best book on the subject written for the general reader since the 1980s.Tom Holland, The Sunday Times
A gripping read in the best traditions of popular scienceAndrew Anthony, The Observer
The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs is a lovely book. Brusatte has a wonderful knack for conjuring vivid worlds out of a few shards of petrified bone. He is excellent company as a narrator, steering a course between pedantry and patronising oversimplification with flair, and unafraid to guide the reader through some fairly complicated patches of science when he feels it is worth it.Oliver Moody, The Times
A vibrant view of how dinosaurs originated and what happened to our Mesozoic favourites. Brusatte is as adept a scientific storyteller as any reader could ask for.The Spectator
