Grave Secrets of Dinosaurs

It was a laborious read, once he actually began talking about the processes and science behind the dig site. I was very disappointed that there wasn't much information about his actual find, which I thought the book was about to begin with, and that most of it was a literature review and study of previously discovered mummies and fossil discoveries. It took me 5 months to finish the book, mainly because I gave up halfway through and set it aside to read things that were better. My desire to start the new year off with no books started this year finally got me to trudge through the rest of it.

That said, some parts were very interesting, and I just wish that he had more discoveries and more to show for everything that it took to read it. My biggest problem with this book is that the end has nothing about the mummy, and he jumps back into his "this is what was done before" talk. If the research wasn't accomplished, then maybe he shouldn't have bothered to write a book about it yet.
