Informació de l'obraRaptor Red de Robert T. Bakker (1995)
![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 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. While this is a romanticized portrait of "Raptor Red" and her family and mates, it nonetheless accomplishes everything that a solid, great novel should. I was astounded with the depth and accuracy that you are able to experience the novel with once you give some credence and credibility (as well as creative license) to the author. This is really a fine book and one that should be remembered. 4.5 stars- VERY well done. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
