5.0 out of 5 stars bullseye, December 21, 2006

By	VIDA (Vanuatu) - See all my reviews

This book is a wonderful read , really hitting the target. I like the easy way it lays out Steve Irwin's life from his early years to his sad end and poignant farewell.

The simplicity of Richard Shears' writing style particularly strikes a chord with many of us in developing nations where more than 75% of the population can barely read. The author has allowed us to share, with the rest of the world, in the life of a man who wanted his message about caring for the earth and all its creatures to reach us all. And it has --through Wildlife Warrior. Bravo!

May we all have the courage to stand up and be counted even in the face of criticism and derision as Steve Irwin did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accurate view of Steve Irwin's life, December 16, 2006

By	Michael Downey (Manly, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the book an interesting wrap up of a life cut short in it's prime; I wasn't an Irwin fan but I read the book to find out why people so admired him as I am a lover of wildlife. Mr. Shears wrote in a journalistic manner, clear & concise and without pretension and I got a fair idea of what sort of a man Steve Irwin was without mythology. A good read. Michael Downey

By	Patricia L. Joubert (Winter Haven Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very well done book about such a remarkable man. It was purchased for my daughter. His death broke her heart. He was/is her hero. She decided at age 4 she wanted to be a zoologist after watching croc hunter. Reading about her hero has brought her joy. It is a great tribute to a remarkable human being. CROCS RULE!!!
