A review by ajlewis2
Cry of the Kalahari by Delia Owens, Mark Owens

5.0

This is a riveting adventure story. Mark and Delia write different chapters which is so great to get the feel of both of them as they go through so many trials and experience the animals who live in the Kalahari desert near the site they chose to camp in. They took great notes, because the stories are very rich in details. It seems that they became a quiet part of the environment such that they could observe the life going on around them. I loved that the book is so well written that I could be immersed in the stories. There is a lot of action and the chapters are fairly short making it an easy read. There is a lot of sadness in this book, but also so much to fill one with wonder. This was such an enjoyable way for me to learn about an ecology that I will not encounter.
