A review by chloeknight
The Fossil Hunter: Dinosaurs, Evolution, and the Woman Whose Discoveries Changed the World by Shelley Emling

informative relaxing slow-paced

2.75

I wanted to enjoy this book but the meandering of the storytelling was frustrating. There was also a lot of repetition - so much so I thought I had rewound sections only to find I hadn’t.

I understand there isn’t a wealth of information on Mary Anning, but that shouldn’t be a reason to pad out the book with side stories that only just relate to her. 

Overall, yes it was an informative book but not one I’d recommend others to bother with.
