Any story that you are eager to share with others must be amazing. A legal novel about disproving the existence of dinosaurs sounds so intriguing. Thanks for the review!

I would like to start out by saying that this is a great review. Unfortunately, this book goes against every foundational belief I hold. While I am all for learning alternative theories about life and science, this one is just too far right of what I believe. Thank you for the review and I am really glad that you enjoyed the book.

The Dinosaur Lawyer Review
This is one of those books written by a professional with a heavy influence from his/her profession! The dinosaur lawyer, a very captivating and intriguing headline which raises a series of questions like how did someone decide to be a lawyer/antorney of dinosaurs, creatures we have been made to believe existed billions and billions of years ago, with no other real evidence if those'discovered skeletons' are overlooked.
Mr Adam Van from the book is a highly knowledegeable man ia far as law is concerned. His lethal wordings and descriptions attest to this fact. For example and i quote "Litigation is for the adrenaline junkies of th legal profession, but it pales in comparison to the adrenaline rush of unraveling national and international conspiracies with your life on the line". This line is an excerpt from the book and it showcases authors supremacy in law issues. I would not recommend this book for people who do not enjoy or stomach law related issues. On a scale i will give it 7.5/10.

It seem to be an interesting book to read. However, I am yet to be convinced that dinosaurs existed. The reviewer too did an awesome job making me have the urge to read the book. Congratulations to the author.

This novel tells the story of attorney Aaron Baker who is hired by a Russian billionaire, Roman Aristov, to defend him in a suit brought on by his twin brother, Maxim. Roman made a Facebook post claiming Maxim, a fossil collector, had purchased fakes. Now, in order to win this defamation case, Aaron and Roman need to prove not only that what Roman said was true, but that dinosaurs in fact didn't exist.
A thought-provoking story with well-developed, likable characters. I don't think it is for me, so I will pass on this one. However, fans of legal thriller, history, and science books will enjoy it! Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the detailed review! :tiphat:

This must be an interesting book. I would love to know how the author was able to prove that Dinosaurs don't really exists. Thanks for the great review.

The review convinced me that this book with a multidisciplinary approaches telling a surprising story is a good one and I want to read it. However, the statement "I just have so many good things to say about this book", creates some unfulfilled expectations. Right now, I would like to know the other good things about the book, reading the review.

Thank you very much for the review.

The book seems really interesting and the idea brought up in the book is exciting and very original: to initiate a lawsuit to prove that dinosaurs never existed. Can't wait to read the book though the descriptions of laws of physics, mathematics sound not very tempting. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

"The Dinosaur Lawyer" makes me think of the dynamics and I am sure Aaron Baker was this performance. Studying this review so that that I could get a sense of what the book is about and it is on point. Twins are going about trying to prove that one or the other is not correct using science as evidence. It does sound like something I would read. There is always a little mischief with twins. I am already getting excited about this one.

This one seems like such a unique take on the world of dinosaurs. A court case, two brothers and a lawyer in the middle of it all? Wow. That is a big undertaking. I loved your review of this, and I could definately feel how much you enjoyed this book from start to finish. This just really isn't my genre of choice, but thank you for good insight into this one. :)

I would love to get the details of the various kinds of dinosaurs available now. The scientific provings too should be thrilling, as the lawyers deliberate on the main issue. I hope the mathematical calculations would be thought triggering to people who love science themes.

Aaron being hired by Roman to prove that dinosaurs didn't exist in order to defend the case which Roman's brother, Maxim, brought against him sounds intriguing. I'm just wondering what could be the correlation between dinosaurs and the case.

"The Dinosaur Lawyer" by Adam Van Susteren in the third book in the Aaron Baker legal thriller series. Aaron Baker is hired by a billionaire to question the existence of dinosaurs. A very novel concept that promises to be an engaging read.
