Editorial Reviews

"Brusatte's mastery of his field, formidable explanatory powers and engaging style have combined to produce a masterpiece of science writing." — Washington Post

"[A] Jurassic blockbuster...A gripping read in the best traditions of popular science...Infectiously ebullient." — The Observer (London)
