While not strictly historical in many senses (it is fiction after all), I love this peek into the Bone Wars era.

What a fun story! You will like this if you enjoy the Jurassic Park story, dinosaurs or a wild west adventure! Set in the 1870s, this follows a fictional character William Johnson but features several real people like Cope and Marsh who legit were crazed men at the time searching for dino fossils in Native American territory with sketchy treaties. Cope and Marsh's feud became known as the Bone Wars. I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a fast paced read and I liked watching the main character grow into a super likeable amd admirable person. It was a wild ride and involves many historical details of things I can't believe actually happened. I definitely recommend! (4.5 stars)

Actually I would rate it a 3.75. If you are hoping to read about live dinosaurs in this book you will be disappointed. This is about old dinosaur bones, the wild west and some famous characters. This is more of a western than anything else and that is not a favorite genre for me so my opinion is not as strong as it normally would be but I do love Michael Crichton writing.

Good enough to finish I guess. Not sure what i expected from a western by a science fiction author that was released posthumously but im very whelmed. Corny as shit and often reads like a fanfic. Entertaining i guess
