Summary: Spellbinding From start to finish
Review: In true Capstick manner he grabs your attention from the first paragraph and doesn't let go until the last word of the book. Capstick has you on the edge right along side him in the bush. You can feel the perspirations running down your back and from your forehead into your eyes. Hear the flys buzzing and actually smell the animal which is being hunted. It is a geniune experience reading any of his books.
A MUST READ for anyone interested in the outdoors.

Summary: An absolute must
Review: It was a revealing book for all who have not yet hunted in Afrika or anywhere else. Revealing in a way that all of my delusion about hunting in Afrika were defenetly broken. If you think that hunting is just siting down behind a bush and waiting for an animal to shoot you are mistaken. How dangerous it really is can be told by the fact that most great hunters were either eaten by a lion or trempelled by an elephant. This is an absolute must for all who love adventure and reading in general.

Summary: Capstick will make a nonreader love to read
Review: Just read the the first few pages of the "Cape Buffalo" chapter, and you will never put the book down until it has been completed. Capstick's writing is good for reading aloud to children 10-15. Nightmares or no nightmares; they WILL listen.
Rating:
Summary: Another great one from Capstick
Review: Once again Capstick captivates you with his stories and his way of telling them. I could hardly put this book down once I started reading it. However, this is normal with any book written by Mr. Capstick. He will keep you spellbound.

Summary: Death in the Dark Continent - The BIG 5
Review: Peter Capstick once again gives his readers what they want. This book is full of hair raising stories of hunteres and the hunted. Read how Capstick's tracker is nearly gored by a rhino, actually holding onto the horn to save himself. See how a cape buffalo in a bad mood can turn a man into something even a big city coroner will never forget. Discover why smoking may be good for your health, if you track wounded leopards into the long grass at night. The BIG 5 are considered the most dangerous animals on the continent of Africa for good reason. Capstick will be more than happy to fill you in on the reasons, and leave no doubt that they are all dangerous and deadly.

Summary: Be careful when turning the page, a lion could be waiting.
Review: Peter Capstick, the best African writter of all time, brings the big five to life in this page turner. You will never look at the bushes the same way again

Summary: A professional tells about big five
Review: The first book of Capstick, that I read. A wonderful style of story telling, that grips you and forces you to read it again and again. Capstick has an ability to increase the interest of reader, as compared to some big game hunters, who get more technical and factual. Although he will also tell you about guns, calibres, bullet weights, scientific knowledge, geography etc, but does not make it boring for reader. Capstick's opinion, about most dangerous game and his rating & analysis of big five, is no doubt, very true, and is confirmed by, what is written by the great white hunter J.A. Hunter. I fully appreciate author's efforts and research done, in finding the exact story of the world record elephant tusks.
