## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    In depth
  

*by B***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 24, 2023*

A detailed account of Yellowstone and the tragic, stupid, and spiteful deaths. Whittlesey does a good job at describing the dangers inherent to the more untamed side of nature and the more violent urges of the people who inhabit it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very poorly printed, but appears historically correct
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2023*

Chronologically written by manner of death, starting with hot springs. Easy to read, sprinkled with events, lawsuits and park management, it's got a little bit for everyone. Not a horror novel - its blatent and factual. A little humor, such as one visitor asking if the dangerous sign was the name of the geyser.The huge issue is the horrible print quality. The two inches on each outer edge of the pages is printed in grey, not black, as show in the photos. Definitely a book that will make your eyes hurt.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    not as interesting as Death in the Canyon
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2022*

Although well-researched, I found this book difficult to follow at times and thought the storytelling could be improved. It could use better editing. For example, a new paragraph begins, “Both of these explosions were unusual incidents. In a similar vein, structural fires have occurred in Yellowstone Park buildings since earliest days.”This sort of transition happened often and prompts the reader to re read to confirm whether explosions were or were not usual since “in a similar vein” is used to indicate fires happening since the park’s inception. I also want to know why the explosions were unusual if fires were so prevalent. Or maybe they aren’t prevalent and have just happened sporadically but regularly over time? Either way, the author could do a better job of connecting ideas or unpacking conclusions.I read Death in the Grand Canyon and that was more interesting and comprehensive. This is probably attributable to better writing/story telling in terms of setting the scene and giving readers useful context because I have read the list of Wikipedia deaths by bear mauling and found those lists more compelling than the chapter on bear fatalities in this book. I also wanted to know more about the park and small towns surrounding it as I read.It does seem after reading this book that park employees have a pretty high fatality rate. I’d also be interested in percentages of death in winter vs summer. At one point the author contemplated whether winter contributed to more deaths in the park due to winter depression, etc, but didn’t actually give us the number comparisons (and included a July death by suicide in the narrative setting up that speculation so that didn’t feel like it held up well).
