A very quick and enjoyable read. Not really science or speculative fiction. Its really historical fiction, almost a biography. An account of the wild west of paleontology during the height of Cope and Marsh's rivalry in the 1800s to uncover fossils. According to the notes, this was taken from Crichton's research that was used for part of Jurassic park. The person who roped it together into a novel has an irritating tic of ending all the chapters with something like "I would only find out later, how wrong I was." or "And that would be the last time I would think I was safe." Fake suspense one liners. But this novel covers one of the funnest and most bizarre stories of the old west.
