Detailed, brilliant, recommend to all interested in snakes February 1, 1999
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I came upon this book while searching for information on an unusual snake- the Asian Long-nosed Vine Snake. This book not only gave me information, but in it I found great detail on many snakes, and much information on adaptations that I had known nothing about. As a budding herpetologist, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about snakes, their wiles, their guiles, and their wonder.
 Gosh, I enjoyed this book June 2, 1998

I grew up reading the works of Ditmars and Kauffield (sp?), dreaming of the day when I could visit some of the places they went to, and do some of the things they did. This book managed to capture some of the same feeling of wonder and yearning that I experienced all those years ago. Unlike those books, this book gives a good general overview of snake biology and evolution, and the photos are so beautiful that they brought tears to my eyes. Dr. Greene's anecdotes and writing style bring the subject wonderfully to life.
