 Inspiring, gentle, easy read June 26, 2007
C. Ellis (North on England, UK)
For me this book was a refreshing approach to wildlife watching. Timothy came across as a brave man with a good heart.
I loved reading the stories of his time in wild Alaska and about the characters he met along the way.
This book is not, and does not claim to be, a reference book on bear behaviour. It's more of an excerpt of Tim's autobiography that sadly was cut short. You are taken on a journey to Alaska and into the home of the largest land predators on the planet!
Read this book if you have an empathy, respect and/or love of bears.
It's quite a short book that enables you to experience a part of the world you may never actually get to see, through the eyes of someone with an empathy, respect and love for it.

Alot of people dismissed Tim as a phony, but anyone who saw the Discovery Channel program "Grizzly Diaries" can see first hand that his accounts are 100% accurate. Tim has saved bears from death...it's the poachers that need to be dealt with...Alaska authorities should be enforcing the anti-poaching laws. Tim says "Don't do what I do, you may get hurt." I highly recommend the book!
 A great book .....for Walt Disney. April 2, 1999

I think Timothy Treadwells' heart is in the right place, but I feel his grasp on reality has been altered by his past history of self abuse. I started to read his book with the best of intentions but after a few pages, I really started to doubt this guys sanity. There is no way a person so totally unfamiliar with bears could have survived so many chance encounters and walk away without so much as a scratch. Sorry dude, but I think childrens books might be a better literary choice for your story telling abilities.
. . . but, what about the information about bear behavior March 17, 1999

. . I count 18 books on my shelf about grizzlies and that doesn't count the ones I checked out of the library. No other book yet has given me the insight into grizzly behavior that this one has. Validation comes in the fact that Roland Cheek comes to the same conclusions in his book "Learning to talk Bear so the bears can listen" from an entirely different direction, that of a hunting guide. I agree that their are things to dislike about the book but someday we may look back on this book as amazing after the scientist have the money and time to catch up with this off the wall experiment. Remember many times in the past non-scientists have made the breakthrough's in animal behavior because they don't have to worry about their reputations. Publishing books about predators in the US is such a political thing . . I have to give any author who does it a hand for bravery. Remember, there are large groups of people who want us to remain totally scared of being in the wild and want to eradicate those horrible animals for us so we can feel safe.
 There are some things we can not prove , but only tell. June 9, 1998

After readfing "Among Grizzlies" by Timothy Treadwell I was a little mistrusting of the facts in the book, such as the antics of Timmy the Fox and the many touching encounters with the wild Brown Bears. This man is writing a book from his heart and because of this we can only hope it was factual. There are some things we can not prove, but only tell. Let's hope many people read this book and believe in the beauty of wild nature and the Great Grizzly Bear!
