Fascinating read

A fascinating read into the life of Steve Irwin. Was great to get a personal insight by an author who had met an interviewed Steve on a number of occasions. Great Read!

An Honest and Fair Read

While I agree the book was written in a bit of a disorganized style, and some wording in sentences made me have to re read some to get the sense of it, I am Thoroughly enjoying the read, I'm almost done with it. Its Fair, esp. the part about Steve supposedly putting his baby in danger nearly feeding him to the crocs as so many put it.. I am a huge fan of Steve and Terri, and I KNOW how much he loves his family, I NEVER was worried or shocked, as I understand him and his thinking.. he'd NEVER take a chance of any kind with his children, family, friends, co-workers. Richard wrote about all of it fairly and honestly, which I appreciated, and felt he is also a fan too with a fondness for the man. Richard is an award winning writer, so I did enjoy the book. Some nice pictures in it. First time using Product link, its for the new book by Terri Irwin herself, titled "Steve and Me" - not sure I did it right.Steve and Me: Life with the Crocodile Hunter

Could have been a little better, but hey

This book is mainly clips based on articles/personal opinions from many 3rd hand sources, and did seem maybe just a little disorganized, but not bad at all. I would still recommend this book highly for the mere fact that you get a good look into the life and chronicles of Steve Irwin. Sadly the book also discusses what his future plans were, and how tragic it was he died before he could finish them. His death was a terrible loss to the world.

Croc hunter-He changed our world

This is a very well done book about such a remarkable man. It was purchased for my daughter. His death broke her heart. He was/is her hero. She decided at age 4 she wanted to be a zoologist after watching croc hunter. Reading about her hero has brought her joy. It is a great tribute to a remarkable human being. CROCS RULE!!!

bullseye

This book is a wonderful read , really hitting the target. I like the easy way it lays out Steve Irwin's life from his early years to his sad end and poignant farewell. The simplicity of Richard Shears' writing style particularly strikes a chord with many of us in developing nations where more than 75% of the population can barely read. The author has allowed us to share, with the rest of the world, in the life of a man who wanted his message about caring for the earth and all its creatures to reach us all. And it has --through Wildlife Warrior. Bravo! May we all have the courage to stand up and be counted even in the face of criticism and derision as Steve Irwin did.
