Summary: Where is the Decency???
Review: At least Timothy Treadwell died doing something that he loved. How many of you "reviewers" can say that you even have a reason to wake up eary morning???? I think it's pretty pitiful that so many people lack compassion and respect. Whether his approach was right or wrong, there is still something called human decency. Basing the validity of his work on how he died may be just as unfair as anyone who gets killed in the process of helping others (police,teachers) or those who just die doing what they love (race car drivers, athletes). Have respect for family members and friends who may read these reviews...

Summary: Timothy Treadwell: Eaten by a bear
Review: On March 2, 2000 reviewer Stephen Stringham from Alaska wrote this about Tim and his book;
"Wandering among a herd of black angus cattle is riskier." Well, poor old Tim Treadwell would have to diagree with that now, he was killed and partially eaten by bears in Alaska last week. This is from the Anchorage Daily News: "Katmai park rangers who went Monday to retrieve the remains of Treadwell and Huguenard (his girlfriend) -- both of whom were largely eaten -- ended up killing two bears near the couple's campsite. Katmai superintendent Deb Liggett said she was deeply troubled by the whole episode. "The last time I saw Timothy, I told him to be safe out there and that none of my staff would ever forgive him if they had to kill a bear because of him,'' she said. "I kind of had a heart-to-heart with him. I told him he was teaching the wrong message. "This is unfortunate, (but) I'm not surprised. It really wasn't a matter of if; it was just a matter of when.'' Shame, the guy meant well, but pushed the envelope a little too far. Better buy the book, I don't think anyone else will be filming bears so close up for some time.

Summary: Delicious!
Review: Up until the moment they shot me, I thoroughly enjoyed Timothy Treadwell and his companion. I will say that he was a bit gamey, but hey, that's backpacking, right? In particular, I enjoyed his pleas for help and his small intestine. I believe I tasted just the faintest hint of vanilla. Oh, wait, this is for BOOK reviews?
