Title: A dissapointing book
Review: This book seemed so interesting on the shelf...but it wasn't. Instead of telling good stories - the author just chronicles the "stupid" deaths in Yellowstone National Park over the years. Yes, some of these are truly astonishing, but most of them are rather unremarkable.Whittlesey loses his way and the book becomes merely a listing of the deaths. It is so exhaustive that he fails to ever go anywhere with his material.If you are looking for a comprehensive listing of foolhardy deaths in a National Park with no overarching narrative, that reads like a dictionary at times, then you've found it. Enjoy.
