This was one of those books that I could not put down. The excitement during several parts where there is some experience with the wild life is indescribable in the post. The background information about the lives of the people and the tigers featured here is also wonderful. Ever wonder what it is like in Siberia? Not the most inviting place but still livable. What happens during the breakup of the Soviet Union and the related economic crisis? Not much if you are subsistence living in Siberia. But really, none of this information matters as much as the featured character. These are the biggest cats in the world. Related tigers are tiny by comparison. These tigers are solitary hunters and are not to be trifled with. Oh man, if you like this type of book, John Vaillant is a master. I cared about every person and every animal in this book.
