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

adventurous challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

3.0

Just okay for me. I found the book a bit dry in parts and it felt outdated. (The authors focused on their time in the Kalahari in the 70’s, and while the book was written more recently than that, it didn’t feel current or modern.) The authors seemed shockingly unprepared for this experience, to the point that it was uncomfortable to read about at times. They’re honestly lucky to have made it out alive if their experienced happened as told in the book. 😟 The animals were, of course, the stars of the show here, and the book included a wide range of stories and experiences from adorable to profoundly sad and discouraging. I’m happy I read it, but I don’t think I enjoyed it enough to continue to read the other books by these authors. (Also, I think I was the last person to connect that this Delia Owens was the same as the Crawdads Delia Owens. 😂)
