Educational and entertaining, July 14 2005
By The computer lady - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Foosa! Primal Instinct (Hardcover)
Reading Foosa! Primal Instinct is both an educational and entertaining experience. Never having heard of the animal fossa, I was both impressed with and interested in knowing more about it. Mr. Begen does a great job of capturing the intensity of the animal and the plausibility of its ancestor surviving in the rain forest. All this interwoven with a story of family, love and friendship. Its a good read for people of all ages ... and would make a great movie!!

Excellent read! With the recent re-discovery of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker in Arkansas (thought to have been extinct since the '40's), you can easily imagine the giant fossa prowling the forests of Madagascar today! The detailed descriptions of the Madagascan environment and people truly brought the story to life.

Foosa Primal Instinct, July 14 2005
By Paul Manley "Paul" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Foosa! Primal Instinct (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding and very interesting novel. Not only does it hold your attention throughout but offers the reader an escape from reality in as much as you feel like you are in the chase and actually are on safari. I found myself cheering for the animal as well as the protagonist, Blaine Gibbons, who I became very attached to. This is a good read for all ages and a wake-up call for the protection of our environment.
