Official Review: Swampwise by Okefenokee Joe

[EvaDar]

I remember enjoying Jack Hanna's books on his experiences as a zookeeper. This sounds a little bit like it. The question of whether "'edutainment' engender compassion for wildlife, or is it sometimes exploitive of the animals?" got me thinking, too. Looking at it that way, it feels kind of cruel. And sad. I'd be interested to see where the author stands on this issue -- if the editing could be a bit more thorough. Thanks for this review!

For me, the jury is still out on this. I can see both sides but know the industry is not always as compassionate as it could be. Thanks so much for dropping in and sharing your thoughts.

I admit to watching "Swamp People" or "Gator Boys" so I actually find this book pretty cool. Great backstory to his adventure in the swamp. Sounds like a memoir with an actual story to tell. Glad I found your review and I'm excited about this book!

Yes, if you like that sort of show you might really enjoy this book. Pretty interesting guy, on many fronts. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
