Imagine knowing there are 500 pound tigers walking around your village at night....or watching you as you go about your daily chores? A truly eye-opening story of man's sometimes fearsome co-existence with one of the largest cats on earth. The numbers of this amazing animal are dwindling and only through the work of conservation groups will this animal continue to exist. Hurray for the World Wildlife Fund and the Siberian Tiger Project. This book ended up being a disappointment for me. I feel that the description is inaccurate. I was under the impression that this was a story about a vengeful tiger and the tale of what the humans went through to take care of the menace.So is the book about what it says. Yes and no. The story of the tiger is mixed in with a whole lot of history not always related to the tiger. Now there is nothing wrong with that, if that's what you want in your book. I was not looking for a history lesson. I was hoping for a edge of my book page scary tale about a vengeful tiger. Not a history lesson on things other than the tiger. I found some of the history stuff to be boring. Some interesting. It felt like all this additional info. was filler to make a longer book. The actual full story of the hunt for the terrorizing tiger is rather short. The parts about the tiger are excellent.Overall I'd say if you want to read about the tiger tale only, you will not be happy with this book at all. On the other hand, if you are a history buff, I believe you will enjoy this book immensely. It wasn't a book for me.
This story is not just fictional... Crazy how this tiger wittingly took his vengeance
