Summary: Great Read
Review: Read this book if you want to experience the thrills and dangers of the hunt. Capstick's descriptions really sends a chill down your spine. Punctuated with a humor typical of him, it is a great read. sadly it does not tell the reader how the hunt is accompalished.. stalking the prey, reading the signs along the way and all that. There are just mentions that the gun bearer finds it out for him.. also the African bush lifestyle and culture have not been described though the natives are the biggest casulties of the wildlife. Inspite of all these drawbacks the book is still a good read as the author has tons of experience as a safari pro. Recommend chapter on the lions which is a treat to read.

Summary: I read it during my safari in Zimbabwe
Review: Yes I did, and let me tell you, it's the best way to read a piece like this.
Peter Hathaway C. is excellent describing what you may find hiding in the bush right in front of you.
Africa is such a wonder, you feel the connection with your inner part, and the stories told in this book are a brilliant companion for a trip around the place. The guide in the tour (Karel Van Heerden) recommended it to me, and I must say, it is a great book to read at night, inside your tent, when the lights are off, and the sounds of wild Africa are the last thing you hear. After this, I read 'The man eaters of Tsavo' by J. Henry Patterson, and that book is a joke compared to this.

Summary: A great book by a great hunter.
Review: This book is wonderful. Peter Hathaway Capstick had a real knack for putting the reader right there in the tall grass, feeling the heat and the fear of an African hunt. His description of a charging lion put the fear of God in me, that's for sure. Also, his writing style is full of self-depreciating humor and honesty. He had a real way with words and his books are all classics in the field. If you have ever wanted to go on a safari, read this book. It is refreshing to read his descriptions of hunting with no apologies. Consider the way he expresses his love of dangerous game hunting: "That is man against himself, the last and purest of the challenges that made us men, not animals." Either that rings true or it doesn't.

Summary: a classic of adventure
Review: This should be a cherished treasure for anyone who enjoys adventure, the outdoors, hunting or extreme travel. My only suggestion would be to read the chapter on buffalo first, it almost seems to me that he had completely found his voice by that chapter.
I am not a hunter, nor do I even own a gun, and I would like to believe that even the most hardened PETA person could enjoy this book (though I bet they would never admit it)
Capstick was the non-fiction version of Fraser's Flashman!

Summary: Whoa
Review: This book is good. He goes through a list of animals, chapter by chapter, and explains how they are "all very good at making you dead". It's very thrilling.

Summary: Impressive
Review: I am new to the world of Chapstick, but I have learned quickly that it is a page turner. His excursions in the deep of Africa are very interesting and eye opening to a person that has never been there (and will probably never go). He tells it like it is and has the experience and knowledge to back up his accusations. This is a must read, no matter what you may like. It will keep you guessing and interesting because dull moments are few. Enjoy!!!

Summary: Will Keep Everyone Interested
Review: "Death in the Long Grass" gives you an exquisite look into African big game hunting. It is not just a book for hunters though; it is a book that will entertain and keep everyone interested. The author, a professional hunter, takes you right along with him. It will open your eyes to the many man-eating animals that endanger the lives of Africans every day. From a lion that stepped on top of one person to reach another to crocodiles that wait for women to get water at the river's edge, you will never look at Africa the same.

Summary: Very Interesting
Review: This is my first Chapstick book, and I can honestly say that I am thoroughly impressed. He gives you a no nonsense look at the African bush, and what it takes to live or die. Interesting from the first to last page, and quick humor to help you understand the problems that could be faced

Summary: Escape the Urban Jungle!
Review: If your office chair is beginning to conform to the shape of your backside, this book offers a wonderful escape into a world of bloodthirsty beasts. By its very nature, the content of the book is violent, but you will find yourself laughing out loud in many places (Hopefully not in public where you will be forced to explain that you are laughing about an animal mauling). This book will either fill you with an insane desire to go on safari or a firm resolve never to leave the safety of your house again.
