Raptor Red: A Novel por Robert T. Bakker
Fun short read. A story of love, family, and survival told from a dino's point of view. A little dated, and a bit more lecture like than I expected, but pretty good.
I didn't think I'd like a book coming from the perspective of the Raptor.
But I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed the story line.

When I grabbed this off the swap shelf at Tesco I wasn't expecting more than a fun little read to tide me over. I was not expecting to be thoroughly drawn into Red's world and to be so invested in these dinosaurs. I guess once a dinosaur kid, always a dinosaur kid. Kind of 'Land Before Time' but for adults.
I had been wanting to read this book for quite some time. Finally, I did it! Loved this story. It was sad, it was happy, it was interesting. I liked how the author got into the dinosaur's brain like he did. I became quite fond of Raptor Red. I did find the story ended somewhat abruptly, though. I could have used another chapter. I enjoyed the killing, the playing, the mating, the natural disasters. It was quite an adventurous life.
I've had pet lizards before and I've often wondered what a dinosaur society would be like, even though I know that now we think they were not cold-blooded and had some feathers.
I would be interested in reading more books along these lines, if anyone knows of any.… (mais)
