Customer Reviews
One of my favorite books Rating (5) Date: 2008-10-23 1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful This true-story unfolds like a back-country murder mystery. You know how it all ends, and yet it was a gripping page turner. Truly, a terrifying book that is unfortunately a warning about what happens when you fail to give mother nature the fear and respect she deserves.

I would have rated the book with 0 if I had the option Rating (1) Date: 2008-01-17 3 out of 36 customers found this reveiw helpful There is no beast in the garden, unless the author means: the beasts (=humans) in his (=the mountain lion' s) garden!

Beast in the Garden Review Rating (5) Date: 2007-09-19 1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful Extremely well written. I've recommended this book to all my friends and family.. not only is it intriguing and interesting, but its also incredibly informative. It opens your eyes to issues that you probably have not ever thought of. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could.

Beast in the Garden Rating (5) Date: 2007-06-27 3 out of 4 customers found this reveiw helpful I read this book because a friend at work had it. I bought two copies from Amazon after reading it: one for me, and one for a friend researching/photographing mountain lions in South Dakota. I've already loaned out my copy to another friend who lives in Colorado and Nebraska and he said he remembers when the Idaho Springs incident happened. This book is well written and does read like a detective story - but the reality is chilling. I couldn't stop reading it. I can't wait to read it again. Thanks to Mr. Baron for such excellent work.

I loved this book. Rating (5) Date: 2007-03-08 3 out of 3 customers found this reveiw helpful "Beast in the Garden" was an extremely interesting book. It was full of facts and entertaining, although although a bit disturbing, at the same time. I live in an area where there are bears in many back yards and this book really takes a very informed look into the suburban/wildlife dynamic. I would definitely recommend it. My daughter is reading it now.
