This book had a lot of very good parts about Tasmania and the wild scenescapes therein. It kept true to it's aim and the authors were given many unique looks into the perils of this amazing place. That being said, the subplot bored me and it was actually rather annoying I thought. This kept me from rating this book higher as I could have done without hearing about the authors trials with their stoned artist tagalong. I would still recommend this to anyone interested in Tasmanian wildlife or marsupials though.

This book was pretty interesting - it had some REALLY gross parts (land leeches!!). The cloning part was very reminiscent of Richard Stone's _Mammoth_. All in all, this was a very fun and educational read. Although, it certainly didn't make me want to vacation in Tasmania. It was a little disappointing that all signs point to the Tasmanian Tiger's extinction... but it was still a fun read!
