Great review! What hooked me was when you mentioned that the book made you want to talk about it. I love when a story can do that!

Only got to read the sample, but the book does peak my interest. I have many times wondered if some of the dinosaur bones are true or not. I believe there was a problem with a dinosaur exhibit in Chicago which was removed and now stands a plastic replica of another dinosaur as a main attraction. Can not tell from the sample but this book may develop into an intriguing find. After all dinosaurs and legal issues both have cause for digging up.

This sounds like a unique and interesting plot - ARE dinos real or no? Can it be proven/disproven? In court, no less! - so I'm sorry that I was ill this morning and missed out on the Giveaway.

From the very little I have read of the book coupled with this review, this book seems to be a must read. Having worked in the geoscience field for a long time, the visions of dinosaurs and fossils peaked my interest. What proof can be advanced for the non-existence of the gigantic beasts? Makes for an exciting drama!

I love books that make you think! This story throws questions at the reader that they normally wouldn't think to ask. Did dinasaurs really exist? Scientific evidence is hard to disprove...anyone who ever questioned a science report or wasn't sure about Darwins' theory of evolution will enjoy a story like this one. Great review!

I enjoyed the Amazon sample of this book and also the official review. It sounds like a great read for anyone who enjoys legal thrillers. I agree with the reviewer in that I love a book that makes me want to tell other people about it. You know that the book has made a big impression when you want to share its story.

I love your enthusiastic book review and I found it infectious! I probably wouldn't have even considered this book but after reading the sample and your review, I'm ready to dive in and take a chance and let it, as it did you, " completely surprised me."

Today's BOTD is thought-provoking; it will have you questioning the validity of everything you learned as a child, mainly surrounding the existence of dinosaurs. Well-written and engaging, this legal novel is sure to hold your attention and has the potential to spark some interesting discussions. Thank you! I'm looking forward to reading this one. :-)

Believing that dinosaurs actually exist is a struggle because i personally never believed it, this book is sure to help gather facts that might change my orientation or not. I would certainly read this book

This review and the sample made me want to drop everything to start reading this book! I’ve always loved legal stories and tv shows, and the idea that dinosaurs might not be real? It sounds crazy to me but this book sounds very well-researched so going into it with an open mind!

This is an excellent book choice for fans of law, history, and science. It can get very technical at times and the bulk of the book covers historic figures, laws of physics, mathematics, probability, and such.
This is me. It is so mind boggling that dinosaurs could be a hoax considering I just accepted this scientific fact without thought. This is certainly an interesting twist and look forward to reading this book. Thanks for the thought-provoking review!

I have read a portion of The Dinosaur Lawyer and so far, it seems enjoyable and unique considering the topics, questions and answers in the book. I mean, a book about law and dinosaurs together? I've never heard of such a thing and Adam Van Susteren managed to fit them together incredibly well.

The combination of law, maths, and physics sound like a very interesting read. The review has also piqued my interest in this book. Thanks.
