5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL photography!, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Brother Wolf: A Forgotten Promise (Paperback)

I actually bought the AUDIO version of BROTHER WOLF. I listened to it and was amazed at the thoughts and insights. This book was written BEFORE wolves were reintroduced into YellowStone. I was especially won over by the descriptions of the relationships of wolf and man and the relationship with the ravens. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to purchase the book as a gift for someone. I knew the author was a photographer but I guess I totally forgot about the fact that there might be PICTURES. When the book came, I was enthralled with this icing on the cake. So of course, I'm keeping the book and ordering another for the gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Man is the real killer., January 9, 2005

By	N. Wagner "Wolf lover" (Erie, PA, USA) - See all my reviews

Brother Wolf: A Forgotten Promise starts off with an emotional "letter" from wolves to men, focusing on how humans and wolves used to live together in harmony, and how men are now killers, of wolves and other creatures. The letter ends with 'I do not think I know you anymore.' It is highly emotional, and nearly made me cry!

After that, the book switches to its true form...a book with captivating text and even better photos of wolves, taken ina areas where they are very elusive and have lots of foliage to be hidden among.

Jim Brandenburg, a very well-known wildlife photographer and the author of multiple wolf books, even goes far enough to explain his first encounter with wolves and how he felt at that time. The book is highly educational, but also very touching.

Overall, the book has great text with even greater photographs, and is definitely a good read. The high price, however, is quite a problem. But if you like wolves, and if you're willing to pay the price, definitely buy this book. It's excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings a whole new perspective to Wolves and Dogs, January 23, 2000

By A Customer

This book was extremely engaging and beautiful. The writing and pictures bring a whole new world beautifully. This book was designed so well, that it was very hard to put the book down when reading! It brought a whole new perspective to my view on my Siberian Husky, and no doubt a new relationship! This is a must read for all those wondering about the Wolf, and a definite with those who have dogs as companions!
