Has anyone read "Trilobite" by R. Fortey? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Its been shortlisted for the Samual Johnson award, a prestigous UK prize for non-fiction, knocking M. Amis's memoir "Experience" from the running. I always like to see Amis lose, but is this biography of the "fossilized crustaceans" any good?
In a word, Yes.
