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.
