The Monster's Bones: The Discovery of T. Rex and How It Shook Our World by David K. Randall4/26/2022
"Still I am out for bones" In truth this little work brings to light the story of a fascinating individual (told almost in an old west breezy "tall tale" type of style) and his historic contribution to a whole new realm of scientific exploration, however, quite of bit of patience is asked of the reader as they sift and chip through tangents of oddly jumbled subjects and background chaff that leaves the question if the author truly wanted to tell the story of Barnum Brown and the discovery of the infamous Tyrannosaurus rex or create another thinly disguised exposé non-fiction book with the underlining theme of "times were different then so let's reexamine injustices to rile up the modern audience"? Just like any good attraction harkening back to Brown's namesake, I fell for the title and happily stepped right into that centre ring once again. One of these days I'll learn to keep walking by. *Many thanks to W.W. Norton & Company and NetGalley for early access to this title in exchange for an honest review -EGP/April 2022 Comments are closed.
