I highly recommend not only this book, but the series as a whole. If you feel rightfully terrified about the state of the world please remember, in the words of Suzanne Colins, “snow may fall, but the sun also rises”. Life will be okay, change is slow and scary but we will be okay. 3/3

It stands as a fantastic prequel, shedding light on the other books and makes me want to re-read them in a new way. I genuinely cried through out most of this book, it’s brilliantly written to be very dark for the adult audience but still readable for a young adult audience.

Met so many amazing people from different degrees and backgrounds, listened to fantastic talks (including one from @stevebrusatte.bsky.social!!!) and went a very exciting field trip. Thank you so much to the people who set it up

It’s a brilliant piece of fiction rivalled solely by its predecessor Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.
Fans of classics, dinosaurs and fiction should all read this book.

It’s better suited to higher level readers but it’s short and worth the time either way.
The writing is definitely of its time and might be uncomfortable for some but I believe it’s important to read books like this and think about how times have changed.

Palaeontologist. My favourite chapter is the one on (spoiler alert) biomechanics and my favourite quote is “Palaeontologists have always been afraid of numbers.”

I’m a huge fan of Benton’s writing style because of his expertise, relatability and inspiration. He expresses ideas clearly and inspiringly. While it’s best for people new to the field (professionally or personally), I’d recommend it as essential to any /2

Additional comment just to personally say thank you to @edyong209.bsky.social for writing this book. It has helped me through something personal and I am forever changed as both a scientist and individual because of An Immense World. 💙

It is arguably one of, if not, the best book I have had the pleasure of reading. The anecdotal insights, the humour, the knowledge, and the brilliant existential weight all tie this book together. My outlook on life has definitely changed for the better. 3/3

I’d argue it’s a worthwhile read for anyone at any level of scientific understanding but might be difficult for those who don’t read a lot. I’d still recommend you try or put it on a reading list for later! It also contains infrequent swearing so may not be appropriate for younger readers. 2
