The natural history this book is based on is absolutely riveting and fascinating, but I felt the writing trivialized the subject. It was as though the author tried to "dumb it down" to make it more generally appealing. Often a fictionalized account can expand one's appreciation for a subject, but not in this case. It did pique my interest and I'd now like to read a non-fiction account of Mary Anning and etc. But this history read like a Golden Book, IMHO. However, gorgeous cover and fascinating topic!
