Rating:
Summary: Compelling Reading!!!
Review: "Poachers Caught" is a good, entertaining quickread of the wild episodes of a dedicated natural resource enforcement officer. The short stories offer compelling reading of real life experiences more interesting than fiction. It is no wonder the book is in its 2nd printing only one month after introduction. Astounding sucess for a first time, self published author.

Summary: Good read and informative
Review: Good to know that there are folks like Tom Chapin out there protecting our natural resources. The guy was awfully dedicated to his mission. The stories are entertaining and well written. Chapin has a way of educating us as we read, about the game and fish laws and why certain regulations are necessary. He educates us without us realizing it because the stories are so entertaining. A great addition to the outdoorsman's bookshelf and because of the nature of the stories... police work and investigation... anyone will find it interesting.

Summary: Poachers Caught, Nick
Review: I was pleased to see that Tom Chapin had published a book of his experiences as a game warden in northern Minnesota. My copy came from a small general store in Minnesota, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it signed by the author.

This is an interesting collection of short stories taken from the author's many years of field work. These true tales range from humorous to a bit frightening; they are well suited to fireside or bedtime reading for all ages.

My only criticism is a minor one. The book is not edited very well. Some of the sentences are puncuated or structured poorly. This may not be a problem for most readers, but it bothered me. A professional editor could have made this book appear more...well, professional.
