Post books about dinosaurs, fiction and non-fiction. This is a thread for the discussion of our dinosaurian ancestors.

I don't hold Chricton to too high a standard but the prose in Jurassic Park is shockingly bad. I appreciate the way it tries to exploring some bigger ideas but it might be the worst prose I've ever read

The only other work of dinosaur related fiction I can think of is Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder which is fun. I once wrote some stuff from the perspective of a Spinosaurus in the midst of the minor extinction event from the oceans going atomic in its time but I'm not sure I was really getting at much substance. I wish I knew how to draw, the material is more suited to that medium

I haven't read it but I have been really enjoying Tarzan and Barsoom so I plan to get to it as soon as I finish those. There's also his Pellucidar series for a hollow earth with dinosaurs.

The prose is fine and Jurassic Park is an excellent book
