Taking place in the late 1800s, the novel describes the
story of how Willam Johnson, a rich student at Yale, joins a team of esteemed
paleontologists in order to win a bet. The head of the research trip, Dr.
Marsh, decides to leave Johnson in the west after believing Johnson was with
his sworn enemy Dr. Cope. Now left to fend for himself, Johnson joins Dr.
Cope’s team of paleontologists. As their trip across the west continues,
Johnson and his team are faced with challenges and victories coming from every
direction.
This book made me feel neutral. Although there were some
parts that were captivating, many parts of the book were boring. The book
lacked dialogue, but managed to show character development of all the people in
the book. The book was fast paced, but some parts dragged on. The end of the
book was satisfying, and made up for the parts that lacked flavor. I would
recommend this to people who enjoy history and adventure novels.
