When I got my first pet turtles I read EVERY book out there about proper care. This book is clear, concise, and current. The best beginner's guide.

The color pictures and good care advice make this a useful first book on turtles. Some incorrect information is mixed in (e.g. the Asian box turtle[tropical and aquatic] is said to be cared for like the Chinese box turtle [temperate and terrestrial]). And the lack of an index makes it useless at a quick resource.

INteresting and beautifully presented,but some informations are utterly dangerous,as the advice to give tortoises(Vegeterian) canned dog's food.This can provoque some shell deformation and food deficiences.These informations are dated and misleading for a new owner.Beautiful photos,though,and good understanding of turtles ' behaviour.

I really enjoyed this guide. It is well written, easy to read, and manages to give the information that is most important for the turtle enthusiast in a condensed fashion. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in turtles.

It does not cover most of the turtle species, little information on breeding and important stuff, it is more like a magazine than a book, good pictures though.

I really enjoyed the book. It had a lot of information, and answered a lot of my questions.
