A review by skylacine
De reuzenkopbever by Rob van den Berg, Bram Langeveld, Peter de Bruijn, Ingrid de Bruijn

informative

3.5


A topic I really wanted to read more about because I love reading about natural history and extinct fauna, but the execution had me a bit mixed. I lost interest sometimes because this book has quite a few "list chapters" where the authors just list off various things in short sections (e.g. parts of the body of Trogontherium, or locations where you might find its bones). I personally would've preferred it had it been more of a flowing narrative without constant sub-sections and listing things, it was a bit tiring to read.

Still an interesting topic though, and not a bad book by any means. It just didn't read as pleasantly as I'd hoped.
