Wild as It Gets: Wanderings of a bemused naturalist Reviews

I was walking towards the checkout table with my book haul at my local public library when this book caught my eye. I picked it up read the back, and thought "sounds cool", then added it to my pile. I was so happy I did that.
I'm writing this review in August 2020, even though I finished reading the book in May 2019 and that's because I'm still thinking about it. I still randomly find myself thinking about that one paragraph about the elephants in Botswana, a passage of writing that made me wish I had that kind of literary vision. When I'm hiking with friends in the mountains and we encounter a troop of baboons, I'll still recall the anecdotes about animals and what the book tells you to do when you're face-to-face with a charging wild animal.
It was one of the best books I read in 2019 and soon I'll be going back to my local library to check it out again! -
Once is got the idea that chapters weren't sequential, I thoroughly this book. A gentle but v interesting ramble through things natural. Lots of things I didn't know. An easy but interesting read
