5.0 out of 5 stars Must reading for anyone who hunts or wants to understand, January 2, 2002

T. Mullane (Hagerstown, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ishi & Elvis (Hardcover)

If you don't hunt or only hunt with a rifle or compound bow.. you may not understand the ending of this book.
Jim Hamm brings the essence of the hunt and what it means to be a hunter to light in this fantastic book. He describes the land he hunts and loves in bitter detail. He makes you understand what it means to be a hunter and to be the hunted. And in the end he makes us see what it is all about.
I have never hunted the Texas countryside he hunts.. but I now can say I have been there and understand it... I am fortunate to be amongst the tribe of hunters he belongs too... I can not thank him enough for this tale of the Texas countryside and his partnership with the great Elvis.....

3.0 out of 5 stars Is it a Novel?, April 13, 2005

Walsh "TW" (Quincy, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ishi & Elvis (Hardcover)

I expected a story about a particularly elusive deer nicknamed Elvis. What I got was an ethics lesson and a bit of a history lesson and not enough story. Since I fling arrows and bow hunt with a recurve, I guess some will take it that I am being disrespectful to the brethren. It's just that when someone calls their book a novel, I have the habit of expecting a story. When I don't get my story, I'm disappointed. Mr. Hamm is a great historian, ethicist and he seems to write well, but this book doesn't know what it wants to be. I would ask Mr. Hamm to write his own explanation here on Amazon. You have no excuse being disappointed if you know what you are getting. I didn't...I was.
