A fun, light hearted detective story set in a world where dinosaurs live among us, disguised as humans. Silly, but the prose lets it work, and I enjoyed it.

"Think you've seen it all? You're wrong. You've never read anything like Anonymous Rex. An incredible idea---brilliantly executed...a true original, crackling with imagination, and more fun than growing your own goatee. And did I mention the interspecies sex?" --Brad Meltzer

Very funny and quirky. The jacket calls it a "cult classic." Think of Dashiel Hammett as a dinosaur! The author imagines a society that includes dinosaurs which are not extinct. They actually became part of the human population by developing various guises. Of course humans don't know a person is actually a dino, but fello dinos know because of the smell. Really different and fun.
It was ok. I really enjoyed the premise at first, but near the end I just wanted it to end. I liked the story and the ending but the book would have been better if it was shorter.
Very clever, lots of fun to read. Who would've thought dinosaurs would be sexy? Enjoyed this immensely!
The dinosaurs are among us! The main character is a velociraptor.
I liked the book and I'm going to read the series. It took me a little while to 'get it'. But once I did, it was really enjoyable.
For a long time I thought I had to read only 4 or 5 star books. This book is a perfect example of an enjoyable time without having had to be the top of a hit list. I'm glad I selected it.

Interesting world where dinosaurs (who never really became extict, but have evolved to human size)live among humans, wearing latex disguises. One of the dinos is a private detective who investigates the accident/murder of his partner and encounters strange creatures (stranger than human size dinos?), love, genetic experiments, and finds a new partner in the end.
Lots of fun.
