When I first read this book I was not expecting to get pulled into the story the way I did. Lawrence manages to make you not only empathize with the puma but gives the puma a "voice" - you can feel the puma's hatred, confusion etc bleed through the pages. The other human characters are just as easy to relate to whether you love them or hate them. Overall, a gripping story of survival for not only the puma but the Hunter, as well. 5 Stars to Lawrence! A powerful statement on the need for conservation written by an acclaimed biologist. A mountain lion has given birth to an unusual son, an albino puma. He learns from his mother until he must eventually be on his own. Then hunters enter his territory, intent on his unique hide. Only, this time the hunters may become the prey. Excellent book in the vein of "Black Beauty" (from the animal's point of view) only on a more adult level. Highly recommended! no reviews | add a review
