Dana W. (SouthWestZippy) - , reviewed on 11/12/2015 + 265 more book reviews

In October of 2003 Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard were mauled and killed by a bear in Alaska's Katmai National Park. The first half of the book is about Timothy and his obsession with the bears. Very little about Amie, just a mention here and there. The second half of the book is about myths and statistics of a bear killing or harming humans. The whole book touches on activist and researchers alike on what happen that day. A audiotape in the only living witness to the horrific day and even it does not tell the whole story. Nick Jans does a fair job on keeping the very controversial Timothy story neutral. Timothy interactions with the bears were not well received with many and Nick Jans lets those voice be heard. Nick Jans also lets the voices of Timothy's supporters to be heard. I would have like more story about Amie. She too was a victim of Timothy's unhealthy obsession. Overall a ok book.
