 Excellent August 10, 2008

This book was a well written and very honest take on Timothy Treadwell's tragic story. While the author has compassion for Treadwell and values him as a human being, he does not sugar coat his behavior and actions that ultimately contributed to his death. A great read for bear enthusiasts and those interested in Timothy Treadwell. He seemed like a sweet, likable, but misinformed and troubled individual. May he rest in peace, along with his girlfriend Amie.
A very tragic story, perhaps others can learn from it.

I was very grateful that Mike Lapinski took the time to investigate and write this book. It's well worth reading. His research and conversations with so many key people help clear up alot of rumor, bias and speculation. There is alot of valuable details that help clarify a broader, balanced viewpoint on Treadwell's life and final days in Alaska.
I also appreciated the info concerning Amie, Tim's girlfriend. In the end, I think this book gives a more complete picture, filling in alot of blank spots and helping bring closure to a tragic event.
The answer to my question October 31, 2007
This book is the best of all, so far. I am not finished with the others I ordered yet. I was interested in the author's point of view of Mr. Treadwell. I was at first tempted to defend him, but at the end I found I agreed with the author's evaluation of him. I like books where you start out with one opinion and the writer turns your whole thought process around by the end. The descriptions of Alaska were breathtaking. I almost want to go there. Almost. I mean, there are bears, after all.
Fact, rationalization or apology? August 31, 2006

Although this book cannot be tagged the Anti-Treadwell story, it represents the viewpoints of many professional biologists employed by Alaska and/or the federal gov. It is important to know both sides, and well worth your while to read this account. It may even explain some of the influences on Treadwell's death, although I am sure no one intended that. It is almost a rationalization offered in place of an apology. Go ahead - read it.

I had watched the film on Timothy Treadwell's life and was very interested in reading more about what happened. I ordered this book hoping to learn more, which I did. I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in both sides of the story. Very well written.
