Ok - lets see what you all reckon - I gotta go for ; 

 

1. The Land that Time Forgot - Edgar Rice Burroughs

Great old school adventure yarn with T-Rex, dinosaur eggs and ice age men, and german u-boats!

2. The Banshee Engine - Harry J Jones

A cracking fast paced short story about when the dinosaurs return to modern day and wipe out the entire human race. No messing here, straight to the action. 

3. Bones of the Earth by Michael Swanwick

Great stuff. Modern tech vs dinosaurs. No more needs be said. 

4. Jurassic Park - we all know and love 

5. Dinosaur Planet - Anne McCaffrey.

Great stuff! 

Let me know your thoughts! Kept it to 5 to cause some arguments :)

Easy. Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton for me.

^Same. 

Although I can’t say I’ve read many dinosaur books.

The top 2 are Crichton's Jurassic Park and The Lost World, full stop.

Dragon Teeth may or may not be considered a "sci-fi" novel, but according to Crichton's letters, he always considered it to be the prequel to his "other dinosaur book".
