This book provides an entertaining though broad overview of dinosaur life, including such topics as dinosaur evolution, feathers, society, sounds, parasites and movement.  Brian Switek takes a chatty road trip through North America visiting a variety of Dinosaur Museums, reminiscing about his childhood obsession with dinosaurs.   There isn't anything new in this book for me and the personal musings about dinosaurs I found rather irritating, but this would make a good book for a dinosaur obsessed youngster.  The inclusion of a large number of diagrams and photographs is a bonus.
