This definitely raised both my eyebrows! To disprove dinosaurs do not exist is surely an interesting and intriguing story. Fans of courtroom drama must be rejoicing. Congrats!

I wonder what will happen with the case. Twins at odds over the reality of dinosaurs is a fascinating plot. I didn't even know that dinosaur museums raked that much money. Maybe I have to start tinkering with old bones.

This sounds like a book that has not been written yet. I like the premise of the book and I am eager to find out the conclusion of this court case. I have learned about dinosaurs through watching the National Geographic channel and the History channel. It seems as though every year scientists and paleontologists are rewriting what we have learned about dinosaurs.

Quite a unique concept. Looks like it deals with some very thought-provoking subjects. However, I'm not sure this is something I would enjoy reading. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the detailed review!

I am a fan of courtroom books because it is educative and enlightening. I want to see how Aaron and the twins develop this plot using a courtroom setting. Beautiful review.

I felt like I learned so much while reading it.
Whe you read a book and learn, then the author has done well. I am happy that this is what happened. I loved this review very much.

I love the concept behind this novel and my hat is off to the author for the intense and diverse subjects contained therein. From history and archaeology to physics, law, math and more, the author has accomplished an incredible research feat! I can already imagine the list of expert witnesses called to the stand to support or refute the existence of dinosaurs. Cool book idea.

Well, this might be an area where I, with my card carrying open-mindedness, might be challenged to be entertained. This feels like one straight from the "world is flat" department. I'm open to the many theories proving Jesus was one of many saviors or didn't exist. But this just wouldn't do it for me. Thanks for the fun review.

I enjoy legal dramas but disproving that dinosaurs existed when there is overwhelming proof that they did in fact exist is hard for me to think about. Although it seems that it would be interesting to read to find out. Thanks for your review.

I have to say that I am more than a little intrigued concerning this book. A man wants his lawyer to help him prove that dinosaurs don't and never existed? Sounds like a mountain of a case! But I must admit I'm intrigued as to how one would even go about taking on something so monumental. The law interests me and has for years so I must say that this is one book that I am eager to dive into. I like that the author keeps this book both engaging/entertaining and informative. For now, I'm putting this book on my to-be-read shelf.

This sounds like a great thought-provoking book! I’m sure trying to prove that dinosaurs never existed is a huge task & I’m curious to read the rest of the book just to find out how they try to accomplish this. Thanks for the great review!

I like a well written legal novel, I am a great fan of J. Grisham. So, right from the start, this book appealed to me. What makes this novel stand out is its topic: disproving that dinosaurs ever existed. A great challenge for the main character. I am extremely curious about the outcome of this book so I will definitely read it. Your review is one of the most enthusiastic ones I've read in a while and the reason why I got so interested in the book. Thank you!

This sounds like it could be an interesting book on an ancient subject or topic. I would like to see were this books goes as far as the claim on weather the dinosaurs really exist or not.
