Very Informative!
This book was a great read. The story mainly centers around a youg biologist who is sent into the Arctic to study the behavior of the wolves, and prove that they are the reason why the caribou population has drastically diminished. Of all the lessons this book teaches, I think the most important one is tha that we humans don't know as much about the wilderness as we think we do. While this book at times may be boring to some people, I found it completely entertaining and could not put the book down! Farley Mowat has a great sense of humor and often uses this to poke fun at the government or even his own mistakes. There are many funny parts, such as the native's reaction to when Farley eats mice and when he goes on a 6 mile chase after wolves completely naked. If you are interested in animal behavior, this is definitely the book for you. You learn so much about how they stereotype about wolves could not be further from the truth, that they are gentle, caring creatures not too different from humans. I recommend this for all animal lovers out there. ... Read more
