This book gets you. It makes you feel the heat, see the beauty of the country, love the animals, feel the sometimes despair of the authors and makes you realize that WE all have to protect the beauty of what is left in this world.
I learned a lot from this book July 8, 1998

I learned a lot from the book Cry of the Kalahari. I learned about animal behavior and their reactions to humans. I also learned that nature and its animals are to be enjoyed by learning about them.
Read while in the Kalahari June 30, 1998

I took this book with me on my own exploration into this great desert and was inspired by the book's wonderful decriptions and insights.Now, I simply re-read the book everytime I need to visit Africa in my mind. For those people who wish to explore and experience (non-tourist) Africa this is a great place to start.
It made me laugh, cry and THINK! May 30, 1998

I listened to the book on tape. This amazing tale of life and death on the Kalihari not only opened my eyes to animal and environmental problems in Africa, it made me care. I laughed over the birds, and the cubs -- I cried when Bones died and the wildabreast suffered so -- and I had an anxiety attack when Delia went in the Hyena den. I can hardly believe this was true story -- but that fact makes it all the more amazing! What an wonderful book! I will read the other books by the Owens!
I thought the book was excellent!!! April 11, 1998
