Review of 'Dinosaur Facts and Figures - the Theropods' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I really enjoyed this one, especially as I found the data on estimated speeds nowhere else and really needed some for a little Animal Simulation game project of mine that I like to dabble with programming from time to time, though I have yet to update its databases with the provided book speeds.
With that in mind, I have the minor quibble that it would have been very helpful if it had included more information about the speculative versus real coloration given on each dinosaur's little depiction, and reasoning on the more speculative ones. Just something like 'colored like a racoon due to being found in a wooded habit and similar diet', or 'too little material to really say, and it may not have advanced enough feathering to support blue coloration, but we doodled it that way just for fun'.
