Chloe's Reviews > My Beloved Brontosaurus: On the Road with Old Bones, New Science, and Our Favorite Dinosaurs

The author of this book has an allosaurus tattoo (and, I googled him, has two other dinosaur tattoos to match). Did I love this book before he disclosed that fact? Yes. Did it heighten my enjoyment of this book? Considerably.

I'm exaggerating - I would have adored this book whether or not the author was bedecked in dinosaur skin decoration. There's a whole chapter on dinosaur sex!!! Both my college roommates are deeply relieved that they're no longer living with me and will not be held captive as I wax poetic about my newly learned Dino Sex Fun Facts. Goddammit, I really wanna be friends with Brian Switek. Man knows a thing or two about dinosaurs (or two hundred pages worth, rather).

I just really, really loved this book. I learned a whole ton, and the book was well-written (A+ chapter transitions, Switek), and now I kind of also want a dinosaur tattoo in addition to all the other tattoos I kind of want but am not decisive enough to get. I am a lesser man than Switek.

This isn't any sort of review at all, just me waving the book in your face and urging you to go ahead and read it already.
