"As humans encroach on wild places, encounters with animals--from bears, bison, mountain lions, and mice to turkeys, ticks, rats, and raccoons--have become increasingly commonplace. But, wait, what are the rules for facing a moose up close? Do you run from a coyote or stand your ground? How deadly, really, are black widow spiders, rattlesnakes, and sharks? Packed with expert tips, fascinating animal facts, and harrowing true tales, Look Big is a must-have survival guide for outdoor, urban, and suburban adventurers alike. If you have ever feared the approach of a grizzly, the spray of a skunk, or an army of cockroaches in the kitchen, this book is for you."

Review

Look Big is a must read for all of us living in a world where we are constantly surrounded by animals inside and outside of our home. It provides great information in what to do when we come across many different animals such as; deer, coyotes, bears, dogs, ants and even bats. Rachel manages to provide educational material with this book along side keeping it light and interesting with real life stories of other writers experiences too.

After reading this book I enjoyed learning that even deer can charge if provoked, and if you ever come across a moose while driving just to wait as it can charge you and your car but patience is the answer.

Graphic Novel Review: Invincible compendium volume 3 by Robert kirkman TS

Invincible Compendium Volume 3 By Robert Kirkman Writer: Robert Kirkman Artist: Ryan Ottley , Cory Walker , John Rauch , Jean-Francois Beaulieu , Nathan Fairbairn Cover: Ryan Ottley , Nathan Fairbairn Published: July 18, 2018 This is my most anticipated graphic novel for the past five years! So I start this by disclosing that I am a huge fan of Robert Kirkman and the whole Invincible series to start with, I first read the compendium volume 1 maybe eight years ago as a gift from my brother and managed to finish it in a matter of days. I started this series late to the party and thankfully only had two years to wait for the second volume which was also incredible but unfortunately with just how many issues are packed into these compendiums I have had a five year wait for this third volume to be published and I have to say, it was worth the wait. The story being issue to issue jumps right in from the last so ...

Graphic Novel Review - Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col Buy it here Something terrible has happened in the nice town of Bayport, Frank and Joe Hardy's father has been murdered and they're suspected of the crime. Only with the help of Nancy Drew can the boys clear their names and find out who really killed their father. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys is a great modern take on the crime solving cast with a dark noir theme throughout. I felt the darkness in the art was a great take on the story bringing the duo into their more mature lights. I had never read any of the Hardy Boy or Nancy Drew stories but have really enjoyed this and would read further if this style of writing was a route that it went down again, it is defiantly worth a read for everyone who likes a crime solving graphic novel.

Book Review - The World of Lore, Volume 1: Monstrous Creatures by Aaron Mahnke

The World of Lore, Volume 1: Monstrous Creatures by Aaron Mahnke Hardcover: 320 pages Publisher: Wildfire; 01 edition (10 Oct. 2017) Language: English ISBN-10: 1472251652 Buy it here The world of Lore is the written counterpart to Aaron Mahnke's hit podcast Lore which has captivated listeners with his captivating storytelling and dark stories from history worldwide. The world of Lore is a great book that reads just like his podcast meaning that you can practically hear his voice as you read passages of dark stories that leave you unable to put the book down. I will point out that if you have heard all the episodes of his podcast you will likely have heard all of these stories read by Aaron already. Although even having heard everything already I found reading it all just as exciting as if hearing them for the first time again given the alternative format. I hope that there will become a volume 2 of the series and would defiantly...
