This book is absolutely fascinating as it examines real life examples of human tragedy through accidents, stupidity, and violence. However, it is not a light read and many will find it too disturbing. I loaned it to one person who said he only read a few pages before he realized he could not read further. It is disturbing, though I found myself drawn into the dangers of this beautiful part of the world. The book also goes into the history of the park, as well as the reasons more 'safety barriers' are not forced into this still wild world. Although I highly recommend it, I'd be careful about to whom I'd recommend it as well as with the warning it full of real life 'tragedies' which can not be watered down in their graphic nature.
