Firstly, this is a lovely, sincerely and passionately written account of one man's passion to save a species of bear, which faces enormous threats.

Each time, his drive and love for these animals is very apparent and Sarah Pye has successfully captured these impressions in her writing. I highly recommend this book.

I really liked the pace and drama of the story of Dr Wong's campaign to save these beautiful bears. Sarah Pye's gripping story telling is inspiring in its own right, as she was inspired to write this book by Dr Wong's courageous struggle, and his challenge to her to do what she could do to help.
