The Grizzly Maze

Praise

“Intensely imagistic, artfully controlled prose . . . behind the building tension of Treadwell’s path to oblivion, a stunning landscape looms.”—Newsday

“A fair and exacting account of the events that led up to the tragedy, and, in doing so, shows readers the different sides of a complex and controversial man… It would be easy enough to dismiss Treadwell as a well-meaning but foolish person whose luck simply ran out. Jans gives his audience much to consider and allows them to decide.”—Peggy Bercher, School Library Journal
 
“Masterfully addresses Treadwell’s life and death… Although The Grizzly Maze is not the first book on the subject to be published, it’s by far the best.”—Paul Constant, The Stranger
 
“A fast-paced, thoughtful and evenhanded account of the life and death of self-appointed bear guardian Timothy Treadwell, who, along with a girlfriend, was killed and eaten by grizzlies in Alaska’s Katmai National Park in 2003.”—Publishers Weekly
