 American Man-Killers: The Scariest Book Ive Ever Read
I love a good, scary story. Stephen King at the top of his game, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker. Yet, after having read scores of horror novels, none scared me in quite the same way as American Man-Killers-the scariest book I ever read. Why? Because American Man-Killers isnt something created by mans imagination. Its real. The cougars, bears, wolves, alligators, and even our friends the dogs are real. The horror of the injuries and deaths theyve caused is real. From the vicious attack on "Bear" Moore, the Grizzly Hater, who walks away from a bear attack with half his face hanging off, to the authors account of watching a piece of his own flesh swallowed like so much meat, American Man-Killers is a testament to the wiles and strength of killer animals. Yet, intense as the subject material may be, Don Zaidle makes the reading easy by interjecting his own "smart-elbow" view of life into the text. And he blends the horror and the humor as easy as cream lightens coffee. American Man-Killers was written to warn us, to inform us, and even to entertain us. Read it, and youll remember how you felt after seeing Jaws-you wont go back in the water ... I mean the woods.

Required Reading
I cant accuse Mr. Zaidle of sensationalism. What could be more sensational than the subject matter itself? Ive read many books of this genre, and Mr. Zaidles humorous writing style definitely takes the edge off of some pretty gruesome stuff. I read this type of book to educate myself because I,personally, enjoy surviving. Ive seen people in my town shove their young child toward antlered deer with an apple in their hand. Ive seen toddlers and Rottweilers playing in the same yard. What people dont know can hurt them,and their loved ones. What people, like these unenlightened parents, could learn from this book could save them a lot of grief. No, not all animals are killers,but, they can be. If you put a bicycle helmet on your kid, there are other precautions you could take as well. Enjoyable book to read. I highly recommend it!

 What a crock!
The author has a very vivid imagination, Ill give him that. The only problem is that this book was written as nonfiction!
