Great concept - he could've done it with just bears or mountain lion and anyone would've liked it. But the format was really effective, and the true stories of animal attacks mixed in were really effective. So good. And the audiobook cast is nuts.

The story is super entertaining and, unlike a lot of people, I love Judy Greer's narration, she is the right level of annoying. The only thing that keeps taking me out, is the fact is that this is supposed to be something the character WROTE, and it clearly isn't, this would have been much better as a recounted story told orally, or maybe recorded, but the structure, in my opinion, makes no sense for a journal.
