Title: You decide?
Review: The author may be asking you to decide, but does not come close to providing the reader with a balanced portrayal upon which to base their own opinions. A mish-mash of interviews presented verbatim, trial transcripts, political vitriol and armchair lawyering, the book relates a fascinating event in a thoroughly biased manner.The escape and shooting of a number of lions from Ligertown, a ramshackle would-be zoo near Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, tore apart a town as people took sides, and spawned any number of conspiracy theories. The author definitely chose to side with Ligertown's owners and presents it glaringly in print. Those readers who agree with the author will have an easy time reading this book. For the rest of us - if we're determined enough to read past the author's partisan prose - we may be able to find the story of Ligertown's demise an intriguing real-life tale.
