The information was presented in a very organized manner and it included useful diagrams and pictures. The diagrams had very interesting facts like comparing the height or the weight of the big cats to each other among other things. She also had pictures of very interesting mix breeds like Ligers and such that would capture your attention. I do not always like to read a factual book but the way this was written and the unusual yet interesting information stored in this book caused me to enjoy it very much! Who would have known that a jaguar's bite is so strong that it can bite right through a victim’s skull?
I also very much enjoyed how Joyce, at the end of each chapter, gives a top 10 movies with each animal in it. I thought that was a very good way to get a person to take what they learn and look at where we place it in real life. For example, when talking about the number one movie with lions in it she said The Lion King was top. Even the Narnia series made it to the list.
There are only two downsides to this book. One thing I dislike is the book's length. I read the entire thing in one setting and depending on your reading speed you could finish it anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes. I wish it would have been longer. I suppose this complaint is only here because I loved the book so much. The second issue is a lack of the big cats discussed. Only 5 of them were brought up and I really think there should have been more discussed.
I would have enjoyed this book much more if there had been more content in it. I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it was written so perfectly and could really capture anyone's attention. I recommend this book to anyone who takes interest in animals, the world or anyone who is interested in reading a factual book.
