I have kind of conflicted feelings about this book. On one hand, it's super didactic, full of sweeping over-generalizations (especially re: Han Chinese vs. grassland Mongols), and depressing. On the other hand, it's about wolves and promotes ecological consciousness. I am a sucker for narratives about wolves. Plus, the Chinese environment is kind of a pet topic of interest for me. Otherwise I probably would have abandoned reading this book.
