Listen, it’s a really good and important and well written book. But you really do need to love bears to get into it I promise

It was so long and I never had the motivation to finish it. I’ll maybe pick it up later down the road.

Realistic but tinged with hope and chock full of cool info. The Sun Bear situation is truly depressing, the panda cultural history is fascinating, kind of hopeful, and illustrative both of broader ecological stories & Chinese world-citizenry.
The book kept touching on, but not really broaching, the impacts to ecosystems of losing bears. Wolves are needed to trim deer populations, how do bears balance and cycle into their ecosystems?

Loved this take on bears and how they intersect with so many social/political/environmentql issues . Very good narrative nonfiction

I’m now both completely fascinated and terrified by bears, but I mean that in the best way! This was written with the perfect mix of anecdotes and facts, and had an engaging voice. I never once felt bored like I sometimes do with nonfiction.

A fun read that focuses on the bears more than the author's experiences. I learned a lot and feel inspired to help how I can to preserve the 🐻🐻🐻
