review 1: It was a pure delight to read about Tony Fitzjohn, whom I have never heard of before. I was glad to read about his life, how he got started in conservation in Africa, and so much more. Some parts of it were exceedingly slow, but when he describes and talks about some of the animals (especially Squeaks and Bugsy), I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. It was simply adorable. The photos add a nice bonus too. I liked reading about his experienced and I even went "aww" when one of the lions (Freddie I think) even defended him from another lion that attacked him! I would love to do volunteer work and get a chance to meet Tony and his wife and family. In his writing, I felt for him and ached when he explained about deaths of people he was close friends with and even the creatures he... more cared for. Once again, I love reading these types of books and it definitely transported me away from boring old Texas to the volatile but wonderful Africa.
review 2: For me this was an exciting book. Tony Fitzjohn followed his passion and has led an exciting and very worthwhile life. His love for Lions and other dangerous beast really awed me. He truly loved these animals and risked his life to return them to the wilds. He also lived his life his way doing what he believed in amidst the political obstacles and the poachers who kept trying to destroy what he was doing. A really good read and a book that makes you feel good to know there are people like Tony. I was really glad to win this book from Goodreads less
