Dino Book Recommends
Gentle Sharptooth:
Thought this could be a place we could recommend dinosaur related books and discuss them. That includes scholarly books and fiction like Crichton’s Jurassic Park or a Land Before Time pop up book.
I have been wanting to read The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs by Steve Brusatte:
Can anyone recommend it?

I haven't read that book, but I have read and enjoyed the following fiction book: The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs (author of Tarzan). It's in the public domain and can be downloaded for free here:

I know that one! Cool!
I can recommend Crichton’s Lost World. I have trouble recommending Jurassic Park because the book feels more like slasher horror story akin to Carnosaur. Spielberg like Disney seriously lighted the presentation in the adaptation process; which made it better IMHO.
I am currently reading Crichton’s posthumous “Dragon Teeth,” which covers Palentologists battling to dig up dinosaur fossils, its actually really riveting, the characters are very well written, and it almost feels like a prequel to Jurassic Park. ;)

I have this book though I haven't read it yet. But it was written by a well respected paleontologist so it will most likely be worth it.
