Reviews

"In Return of the Gar Mark Spitzer is fighting the good fight, teaching us about a fish that's in trouble and explaining to us why we should care--one quirky story at a time."--Zeb Hogan, host of National Geographic's Monster Fish series

"A timely work about an important subject."--Jeremy Wade, host of Animal Planet's River Monsters TV show

"In the tradition of activists who speak up for those without a voice, Spitzer is on a crusade to save the gar. He's also going to have some fun while doing so. . . . a pleasure to read."--Susan Cohen, co-editor Shorewords: A Collection of American Women's Coastal Writings

"Highly readable, entertaining and engaging. . . excellent attention to detail."--Solomon R. David, research associate, Shedd Aquarium


"Enhanced with numerous photographs, Return of the Gar by Mark Spitzer is exceptionally well written, organized and presented."--Midwest Book Review

"This isn't a dry retelling of gar research--Spitzer adds dollops of humor and can tell a tale to make any truth-stretching angler proud. He explains why gar are important and what they are up against if they are to survive."--Arkansas Wildlife
