Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Fans of Peter Laufer's life of journalistic adventure as expressed in his shelf full of remarkable books (Mission Rejected, Exodus To Berlin, Made in Mexico, Iron Curtain Rising, etc.) have yet another exciting read to enjoy. But this time, the intrepid Laufer, who has won almost every major award for journalistic excellence and often has had to risk life and limb to get the story, does a complete change of pace. He takes you by the hand and leads you from jungles to back alleys, as we enter the sometimes bizarre, sometimes berserk world of Butterflies and the people who love them. A theme that runs through Laufer's previous works--the quest for decency in the midst of corruption--emerges here as well. Laufer finds a hard-as-nails cop whose life work is the protection of nature's most fragile species. Through interview and observation, Laufer vividly brings that cop to life along with a host of other true life characters who together, make this book a wonderful weekend of escape and reading pleasure. I bought 3 as gifts for close friends.
