Wildlife Warrior: Steve Irwin: 1962 - 2006, a Man… by Richard Shears

What can I even say? Crikey, I suppose. This book was a great account of Wildlife Warrior Steve Irwin, but it made me cry a lot. I cried through the first three chapters, and again through the last. It was good though.

Wildlife Warrior: Steve Irwin: 1962 - 2006, a Man… by Richard Shears

I think this biography came out too soon. It's pretty good, but I think the author needed to step back and maybe take a year to sharpen this book up some.
