This was a most fascinating story about an Amur (Siberian) tiger in the far east of Russia. Much more than just a story about a tiger "deciding" to go rogue and killing people, it also gives insight into the lives of the hunters and people living in this area and how they coexisted with tigers for a very long time. How the tigers and they developed a mutual understanding, almost a psychic link.

I read this book in three days, it is very well written. One of the best books I've read.
