    • All About What Really Matters- Animal Rescue

      by Amanda (Oklahoma City, OK) - 2004-05-06  Rated 5 stars
      While this book might not contain as many fuzzy, feel-good, heartstring-tuggers as Crisp's earlier book, Out of Harm's Way, I think her second effort measures up just as well to her first. This book features stories from disasters that didn't generate as much press and also focuses on the nitty gritty of animal rescue work- she describes some of the dangers, the politics, the risks, and the disappointments. The book isn't intended to be a bunny-hugging Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul- it serves as an eye-opening introduction to the difficult but ultimately satisfying world of animal rescue, written by a true trailblazer in the field. Recommended (and inspiring) reading for anyone considering volunteering for EARS.

    • Great Book Brings It all Home

      by - 2002-05-15  Rated 5 stars
      What great reading for the animal lover! This book gave me a feel for what it's like to work in a real disaster and what goes on behind the scenes. It made me realize what hard work animal rescue can be and made me appreciate the people that devote their lives in this way. There were times I laughed out loud and times that I wish someone had warned me to get a Kleenex! I thought this book was a great follow-up to Crisp's other book, "Out of Harm's Way" because it shows disasters that were not necessarily as "media-worthy" but still just as important to the lives saved and impacted. It shows that not only is Terri a true asset to animals, but also to the people that care for and love them. I highly recommend both books and anxiously await a third from Terri Crisp!

    • Disappointing after "Out of Harm's Way"

      by - 2002-02-05  Rated 1 stars
      To all my fellow readers who were disappointed in this poorly written book after enjoying "Out of Harm's Way" so much, I believe I have solved the mystery of Terri's disappearing writing skills. Look closely at the cover of "Out of Harm's Way" and you will see "by Terri Crisp (large letters) and Samantha Glen (small letters)." I have just finished reading Samantha Glen's delightful new book "Best Friends", and I now know who wrote the warm and wonderful "Out of Harm's Way".

    • All About Terri

      by Mary (Lansing, NY USA) - 2002-01-25  Rated 1 stars
      Poorly writen, poorly conceived, and too much about Terri and not enough about the animals.

    • Great book...ignore the sour grapes

      by - 2002-01-15  Rated 5 stars
      ...Terri Crisp once again has written a moving, behind-the-scenes book about animals rescue. Like any follow-up read, you probably won't experience the same feelings you felt when you read Out of Harm's Way (if you haven't read THAT book yet...do! It'smarvelous!). But you WILL read stories and tug your heart about animal rescues...they will make you cry, they will make you laugh, and they might just inspire you to get involved. I always hate to classify books like this as a "good read." It's never good when people and animals die. It's never good when animals are neglected and abandoned, even in the wake of tremendous disastar. But a good read it is--it's great stories accompanied by great lessons. You see, what Terri Crisp really does best is educate people about how to prepare for the worst through example--and this book provides fine examples of what to do and what NOT to do. What she wants you to do is get your act together and make a plan to save your family--of which your pets are an important part--in the event that disaster strikes your home. Part of this book illustrates the politics behind the work. You've seen it at work here on the review boards at Amazon. Now, read the book. You'll get your good read, and maybe save a life, too.
