When I discovered the back cover, I remember to have abandoned this reading. The subject seemed too especially if not morbid: the coupling of a human with an animal, had to do it anyway. Then I discovered the first notice published on the website, very complimentary reviews ... so I bought the book.
Difficult to describe this story, both disturbing and immoral, insane and addictive ... it was impossible to take a break, as I was focused on what I discovered.
The writing is neat, very expressive and unrestrained, she traces the career of this child bears, carted from village to village, from place to place, from owner to owner to be exhibited, isolated, humiliated ... but I let you discover it because the road will be long and winding.
I closed "Skin of the Bear", wondering who the man or the animal was most bestial, the most cruel, I have more than once been uncomfortable, but I do not regret at all that time reading because it makes you think about the condition and the fate of animals in general and human nature.
