1.0 out of 5 stars
Possibly the worst book on varanid lizards ever written., October 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Living Dragons: A Natural History of the World's Monitor Lizards (Hardcover)
Aside from the beautiful photography (most of which is mislabled), this book has to be the worst treatment of varanid and helodermid lizards ever written. The author has done little more than regurgitate outdated facts. It seems like the rest he just made up. The taxonomy is a joke, as is the rest of the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Probably the poorest book on this subject in print., March 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Living Dragons: A Natural History of the World's Monitor Lizards (Hardcover)
This book was probably written more to capitalize on the popularity of monitors than to contribute anything either current or accurate. Illustrations are mislabeled, poor drawings, or misleading. Text and taxonomy are seriously out of date.
