Customer Reviews

Educational and gripping

Once again Mike Lapinski has written a book that combines adventure and education. The stories of the near destruction of grizzlies with poisons, traps, and bullets are appalling. Our gratitude to those like Theodore Roosevelt, who worked to preserve both our parks and our majestic animals. And finally, Mike Lapinski reaffirms what he has said in other books....stay far away from the bears, dont think they are cuddly friends, and you and the majestic grizzlies will both survive.
