What We're Reading: Among Grizzlies

Book: Among Grizzlies
By Timothy Treadwell and Jewel Palovak
200 Pages

Among Grizzlies is the book that inspired the incredible documentary Grizzly Man by Werner Herzog. Timothy Treadwell suffered a terrible ordeal (an overdose on heroin) and he sought salvation by retreating to the wilderness. Treadwell's story is astonishing - he began to live with wild bears, communicate with them and for the most part, he treated them like family. Treadwell took his passion for trusting nature a little too far and eventually, his trust placed him in grave danger.

A story such as this is uplifting, amazing and at times, frightening. Among Grizzlies is a fascinating book and it is highly recommended.
