Reading Foosa! Primal Instinct is both an educational and entertaining experience. Never having heard of the animal fossa, I was both impressed with and interested in knowing more about it. Mr. Begen does a great job of capturing the intensity of the animal and the plausibility of its ancestor surviving in the rain forest. All this interwoven with a story of family, love and friendship. Its a good read for people of all ages ... and would make a great movie!!

Excellent read! With the recent re-discovery of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker in Arkansas (thought to have been extinct since the '40's), you can easily imagine the giant fossa prowling the forests of Madagascar today! The detailed descriptions of the Madagascan environment and people truly brought the story to life.

This is an outstanding and very interesting novel. Not only does it hold your attention throughout but offers the reader an escape from reality in as much as you feel like you are in the chase and actually are on safari. I found myself cheering for the animal as well as the protagonist, Blaine Gibbons, who I became very attached to. This is a good read for all ages and a wake-up call for the protection of our environment.

The book,FOOSA PRIMAL INSTINCT,gets the reader interested in the novel very quickly and soon becomes a story the reader don't want to put down. Done very suavy,it engulfs the reader from tradjedy to friends and family to a safari hunt to find this elusive animal only known by the natives of the area. Feared by tribesmen and a voracious predator,this book covers all the angles. For an animal not known by name,the author makes this animal one you won't forget.

Ed Begen rates amongst the greats (John D McDonald...)
He keeps his reader hanging on for what is around the next corner.
I could not put it down once I picked it up.
When the story starts you have a feeling you know
who the main roles are going to be.Get ready for a interesting twist.
I believe this novel should be read in schools , along side of Moby
Dick , and Of Mice and Men!

This book is a very fast read, I found myself not able to put it down. The research the author put into this story is quite evident. He is able to convey both feelings and enviroment very well. There are a few graphic parts to this book, but definately neccesary for the story to work. The author also seems to have a real talent for getting you into the characters heads. If there are any movie producers out there, check this out!!! It could be the next big one!!
