"all things leave an impact on a person's life....even negative...and that we should never underestimate our opponents...this leopard may have been nothing but an old animal but it tormented corbett for several months...maybe...just maybe that old man was right after all...maybe,it wasn't just an animal..."
"nothing new.just the same that i learn from J.Corbett's books. that he loved India and it's jungles and i totally adore him best thus far in his books. had me worrying my lips and having goosebumps on my skin, and i am the so called "used to forests" person. twice i thought him gone , God, it had my heart beats quickened.don;t know how he must have done it,he was very brave and noble. and true man eaters are not doing anything against the law of nature, just the law of humans that's what i have always thought, when it comes to animals we think a like"
"My favorite sentence: "I was wearing an article of clothing called shorts, which left my legs bare in the region of my knees."
This book was excellent. Took me a little while to get into it, but it's really well done and is a good candidate for re-reading. You already know what's going to happen, but the joy is in the telling of the story and how it unfolds.
