I applaud Olsen's defense of grizzlies and wildlife. I got goosebumps in his description of how humanity has invaded and destroyed many aspects of grizzly livelihood. I found that these quotes clearly explained the dire need to protect and maintain the natural wildness of grizzlies:
"...[No] powerful carnivore, least of all the proudly independent grizzly, will go gently into the dark night of extinction. ...[A] stand must be made..., for a multiplicity of reasons, the grizzlies were finally making it."
"The grizzly needs space, and the continental United States no longer has space to give him. If he is denied running room, and the human animal continues to bump against him in ever-increasing numbers, the grizzly will maim and kill."

When we had our book fair, I let students pick some books for our class library. One of the girls in my homeroom jumped up to me with this book and I said I wanted a review from her on it. She gave a excited review it and I had to check it out myself. This must be one of the most hilarious books that I have read in years! The story is unconventional, oozing with sarcasm and hyperbole, jam-packed with irony and imagination, filled with relevant allusions, and laugh-out-loud dialogue. This book genuinely had me cracking up in the middle of our sustained independent reading. I highly suggest this gut-buster for your bookshelf!
