review 1: I thought this book would have a lot of information about wolves and their natural behaviour, but it actually didn't have that much information. I didn't like how much of the book was about Shaun Ellis' personal life; his childhood, his parents, grandparents, girlfriends.. And when he was writing about his experiences with wolves I thought he was only scraping the surface; he could have gone so much deeper after spending so much time with the wolves and living as a member of a wolf pack. I also didn't like the style in which the book was written.
review 2: This book was a dollar store find for me. I almost did not buy this book. In high school I wrote a research paper about wolves for my Wildlife Ecology class. I was curious about these animals beyond what I le... morearned in school. This book would have been a great find back then if it had existed. In the beginning of this book which is mostly autobiographical rather than scientific research related. Ellis talks about his upbringing and how he never met his Father and so on. I was really more interested in his experiences with wolves which comes later. The second half of the book goes into more about how he visited places in the world that still have wild wolves like Idaho, Poland, and living with wolves in captivity. At first I found some of the things he does with the wolves unbelievable. He goes beyond what most sane people would ever attempt. Ellis does care for these animals and will go to great lengths to protect them which is commendable. I also liked what he had to say about other wildlife and dog training. This makes me want to read dog training books now. I am glad I picked up this book and read it. If you have any interest in reading about wolves or wild animals this would be a good choice. less
