Believe me in reading this book I found out. There were beautiful and heartwarming parts to this book and there was also many sad, cruel, heartless parts. Man was heartless and greedy. The inhumane ways this bird was slaughtered are unbelievable. When I got to the last chapter the tears rolled down my face. Also, if you want to know what a ´stool pigeon´ is you´ll find it out in this book. Believe me, it will leave you saddened for a very long time. I highly recommend this book.

iUniverse claimed ´In novel form, the book is much more than the simple account of the extinction of a species of bird. It´s a touching and moving narrative of the bewildered attempts of the bird to lead a normal life and yet, at the same time, a shocking and revolting exposé of man´s shortsightedness and lack of understanding of even elementary conservation practices. It´s a forewarning of doom for many other species unless concrete and immediate action is taken to preserve them; in short, this is one of the best written, most touching books ever produced.´—Baton Rouge Sunday Advocate
