Reception
January magazine called Anonymous Rex a "fast-paced, often very funny fantasy-cum-detective story".[1] The A.V. Club writer Keith Phipps wrote, "ridiculous it is, though still a pleasurable read. Anyone waiting for dino-noir to finally hit bookshelves need wait no longer."[2] Entertainment Weekly gave the novel an A, writing, "Witty, fast-paced detective work makes for a good mystery, but the story's sly, seamlessly conceived dinosaur underworld contains all the elements of a cult classic."[3] BookPage called the novel "stylish, witty, and fast-paced."[4]
