I think this is a case where I actually would have enjoyed a more academic book instead. My level of interest in dinosaurs might be a bit beyond that of the target audience. There wasn’t much information here that was new to me and the way some of it was presented was annoying. 

At one point, the host spends a good deal of time declaring dinosaurs are birds, birds are dinosaurs, then when he finally gets into the explanation of why he’s saying that, he goes, “well if we’re being pedantic, dinosaurs AREN’T birds”. If there is ever a time to be pedantic, I would argue it’s when something is meant to be educational!

Very short, I think it could have been a little longer and gone into a little bit more detail but I realize it's also meant for the average adult who doesn't remember or know anything about dinosaurs; a 'Dummies Guide to' type of thing.

More of a podcast format that makes me think it isn't really meant as a 'book' in a traditional sense. They did a good job of describing things that the speakers were looking at, however, which was good since we obviously cannot see it. 

I loved one of the points made that we always think of dinosaurs as going extinct but dinosaurs still out number mammals 2:1 because birds are dinosaurs! 

I did know a percentage of what they were talking about but still learned a few things so that's a win to me! I do recommend this, it's a fun little interlude back into paleontology with some neat easily understood facts.
