A great book on the Tyrannosauroidea, not just T. rex! Very accessible to the layman.
The Tyrannosaur Chronicles is indeed a decent read, worthy of a five star review. The fact that becomes painfully obvious after reading other reviews on this site is that many of the people who reviewed it have indeed little to no knowledge of dinosaurs, save for the usual depictions in popular culture. Reviews like these sadly have lowered the score of this book unjustly, as it's definitely not just a 3.9 🌟 book (rating at the time of writing).
David Hone's books are so interesting and accessible (The Future of Dinosaurs, released this year, is great). This one, focusing solely on Tyrannosaurs, is also very good. I always find it particularly interesting to learn about the Tyrannosaurs that were in the UK. It's hard to imagine.
If you have an interest in dinosaurs the podcast he co-hosts, ‘Terrible Lizards' is also super accessible and fun!
