This book destroyed me! I grew up watching the Crocodile Hunter so hearing the story of his life and family was very touching. ( )

When Terri Raines was twenty-seven years old, she took a vacation that changed her life. Leaving behind her wildlife rescue work in Oregon, Terri traveled to Australia, and there, at a small wildlife park, she met and fell in love with a tall, blond force of nature named Steve Irwin. They were married in less than a year, and Terri eagerly joined in Steve's conservation work. The footage filmed on their crocodile-trapping honeymoon became the first episode of T"he Crocodile Hunter, " and together, Steve and Terri began to change the world. In "Steve & Me, " Terri recounts the unforgettable adventures they shared -- wrangling venomous snakes, saving deadly crocodiles from poachers, swimming among humpback whales. A uniquely gifted naturalist, Steve was first and foremost a wildlife warrior dedicated to rescuing endangered animals -- especially his beloved crocs -- and educating everyone he could reach about the importance of conservation. In the hit TV shows that continue to be broadcast worldwide, Steve's enthusiasm lives on, bringing little-known and often-feared species to light as he reveals and revels in the wonders of our planet.

With grace, wit, and candor, Terri Irwin portrays her husband as he really was -- a devoted family man, a fervently dedicated environmentalist, a modest bloke who spoke to millions on behalf of those who could not speak for themselves. "Steve & Me" is a nonstop adventure, a real-life love story, and a fitting tribute to a man adored by all those whose lives he touched, written by the woman who knew and loved him best of all.

Really great book, even for people who aren't big animal lovers. A touching tribute and look into two special lives. ( )

This book is for everyone. Anyone interested in wildlife, environmental conservation, this great planet earth. Steve's legacy is one that has touched everyone I know in one way or another, and this book reminds you just how much. It brings to light all of Steve's work, and shows the impact he made. It proves just how much he did in a very short period of time. It inspires.

It brings you back in focus. Life can cause us to look other ways, and focus on less important things, but this book brings us back to the important things. ( )

What a life! What a way to go! I wish the family well. ( )
