Pros & Cons
Pros
Read this book and heed the warnings. The only issue i have is that every word that ends with rn has r and n replaced with the letter m.
This fascinating true story was very well researched and put together expertly. The first fifty pages, where the author sets the stage, are particularly luminous. In two separate situations, the cases unfold for the tragic outcomes.
This book prompted the national park service to improve its managerial practices. I also believe if this were my family, i would hold those, all in the chalet, rangers etc.
Cons
The only part of the book worth reading is the epilogue. The kindle version of this book is riddled with problems. The story is very disjointed.
Usually bears have no interest in people except as a nuisance. Way too much emphasis placed on the descriptions of the landscape. Disproportionately so. If you read this book as facts on grizzlies it could get you killed.

Students and teachers returning to the campus of kearny high school in san diego ca in september 1967 i was a junior that year were shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of michele koons a vivacious wellliked 1966 graduate in a bear attack in glacier national park in montana

Also killed in a separate attack the same night aug
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
At the time of the attacks there was little anyone could have done to stop them since they happened in the dark with almost no visibility no one had weapons and the grizzly bears ursus arctos horribilis had lost their fear of humans
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The descriptions of the attacks are quite graphic so i don’t recommend this book for younger readers
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Reports of bears acting in a strange and aggressive manner had been filtering in for weeks prior to august 12 but were treated by park rangers in a dismissive manner or given a lower priority than fighting lightningcaused fire flareups or accommodating crowds of campers and hikers
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Grizzly bears were promoted as a tourist attraction instead of as dangerous wild animals with seemingly little understanding of their nature or habits and too few warnings given about their sometimesunpredictable behavior
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Perhaps the most egregious example of an unwise practice was allowing tourists and campers to deliberately leave food and garbage out in the open to attract the bears so they could be observed and photographed from the safety of balconies and enclosed structures sometimes in an almost circuslike atmosphere and at the same time failing to prohibit campers from sleeping in the open in areas bears were known to frequent
