Dinosaurs at the Dinner Party: How an Eccentric Group of Victorians Discovered Prehistoric Creatures and Accidentally Upended the World by Edward Dolnick

2.75

I was really looking forward to this one, but it fell flat for me. It’s something I wouldn’t normally read, but a book about dinosaurs and how they were discovered during the Victorian Era, what’s not to love? Apparently I was wrong.

I honestly don’t know what didn’t work for me, but I never felt invested and I wasn’t retaining information. I’d read one chapter and forget what I had read by the time I finished the next chapter. The chapters aren’t even long! They’re very short. 

Maybe if it had been written more like a novel, or at least in a more cohesive manner I would have enjoyed it more.
