Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read this book after visiting the beautiful and strange Museum of Jurassic Technology.I was first discomfited to find that the Museum's wonders could be -- how could they be? -- frauds and hoaxes.I was at first crushed and a little annoyed at Mr Weschler's seeming cynicism-- unlike me, he had apparently rushed immediately out to fact-check the exhibits' provenance, and gleefully points out how most visitors had been hoodwinked.However, Mr Weschler moves from simple cynicism to a greater appreciation of the Museum's gnomic aims, and the reader moves with him from everyday disbelief and sour disgruntlement to a rapturous awe.A magnificent book, and a worthy addition to study of the Lower Jurassic.
