Editorial Review:

Product Description:
On the afternoon of October 5, 2003, in Alaska's Katmai National Park, one or more brown bears killed and ate Timothy Treadwell, a well-known wildlife celebrity, and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard. This frightening and chilling story immediately captured worldwide media attention and ignited a firestorm of controversy. Death in the Grizzly Maze is the compelling account of Treadwell's intense life and dramatic death. Author Mike Lapinski chronicles Treadwell's rise from self-described alcoholic loser to popular grizzly-bear advocate, and he delves into the troubling issues raised by a new breed of wildlife celebrities.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great book, pragmatic but fair
Mike Lapinski, the author, is not that experienced in writing as he is in factual journalism, he's more of a sports writer, not trying to impress, only to inform. To me, this only adds to its charm. I disagree with some others that he swings in the other direction from Nick Jans (The Grizzly Maze) whom they think was too soft on Tim. Mike gives honest accounts based on interviews--including Tim's and Amie's parents. The idea that Tim and his family were estranged is denied by Tim's parents. OK, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A well-balanced book on a volatile subject
I'm very glad I wasn't dissuaded by some of the negative reviews of Lapinski's book on this site. I found it to be a valuable book on the bizarre, and strangely volatile, subject of Timothy Treadwell's death. Lapinski's is a calm, well-researched, and reasonable approach that balances Jans's (The Grizzly Maze: Timothy Treadwell's Fatal Obsession with Alaskan Bears) somewhat flashier style nicely. There are contradictions of fact and conjecture between these two excellent authors, but the two agree ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Rip-off?
This book seems like it was hastily cobbled together after reading Nick Jan's article of the same name. Jans did an amazing amount of research, visited the site three days after the deaths of Treadwell and his girlfriend, and personally interviewed the key investigative figures. Read GRIZZLY MAZE. Jans' writing reaches literary quality--it is concise and powerful.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What a disappointment
This book gets one star for its few photos depicting the bears and Treadwell; otherwise it is, without exception, a terrible read. The author is clearly biased in his painfully inept attempt to document the life, and death of Treadwell as he lived among the bears. The insideous message conveyed throughout the book (though the word insideous perhaps suggests that the author artfully IMPLIES his thesis rather PANIFULLY OVERSTATE)is that Treadwell acted foolishly among the bears and so died as a result ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent
This book was a well written and very honest take on Timothy Treadwell's tragic story. While the author has compassion for Treadwell and values him as a human being, he does not sugar coat his behavior and actions that ultimately contributed to his death. A great read for bear enthusiasts and those interested in Timothy Treadwell. He seemed like a sweet, likable, but misinformed and troubled individual. May he rest in peace, along with his girlfriend Amie.

A very tragic story, perhaps others ... Read More
