Book Review

[Sully]

About a week ago I finished reading "The Big Cats and their fossil relatives" by Alan Turner. As a cat enthusiast it's a gripping read. More than thorough enough for a layman like me. In understanding the history of the cats this is a must read in my opinion. The general overview Turner gives of the family is also very well done, not dwelling on individual species too much, but more talking in collective terms. The illustrations are breathtaking too. A great, concise read. Only took a week. 

The only qualm I have with it is though its brief, it's very dense too. There's a lot of information to take in, I will only fully appreciate it on a second or third read. Though I am much less well versed on the felidae from the get go than many of you so this shouldn't be a problem for the more knowledgeable.

I've seen it talked about it a lot and I've finally got to reading the classic "Wild Cats of the World" by Sunquist. Will leave a quick review of it once im done. I've got high hopes.

Will definitely revisit this thread for more recommendations in the future. Looks like there's many gems just skimming through it. Reply
