Corbett has a dry style of writing and tends to repeat himself from story to story. They all began sounding alike after a while, except for the very endings when he killed the tigers. Still, the subject was interesting enough and new enough for me to keep me going. He liked to hunt alone and on foot, and his descriptions of walking through the woods or sitting in a tree waiting for the beast to approach were the most intense parts of the book. He talked about how he could tell where a tiger was by watching listening to the birds and other animals in the jungle. He explained that tigers usually become man-eaters only after some injury makes it difficult for them to catch their usual prey. He became a conservationist and was responsible for setting up the large tiger preserve in India.
