A review by crippytay
Bear: Myth, Animal, Icon by Wolf D. Storl

3.5

I was sort of surprised by this book. It wasn’t really what I thought but I learned so much! The Christian story of a man coming out of the earth in a cave blocked by a stone was really all about bears! And the beefeaters are a nod to berserkers. And Smokey bear was going to be Bambi. Anyway. It was interesting. I got lost sometimes in the middle when things were about myths and it felt like the same myth was repeated over and over. Or told in a really dry way with few details. The topics were definitely interesting. But I found the story telling and the cohesion of ideas missing quite a lot.
