There is a lot of good background and contextual history here, especially about the colonisation of India and why things were set up perfectly for the ensuing disaster of a slew of man-eating predators. However, I found the writing very repetitive and circular, as though there was a word count to be achieved, and sometimes that ended up feeling like the audience was being talked to like children. It did make it a very fast read, though, and he's a good writer, even if I found some of his editorializing excessive. The only other problem was that, other than the author's imaginings of the tiger's origins, nothing new is offered about the tiger specifically, but that wasn’t unexpected, given how long ago this happened and the lack of records. All in all, I would say this was a solid companion to Jim Corbett's memoir, for the added historical and political context.

No rating because this is a DNF at roughly 34%. I cannot stand this guy's writing style, and also I doubt the veracity of some of what he's saying. Since I'm quitting in the midst of the history section, I can always buy an actual Dutch history book, rather than a travelogue with pretensions to being a Dutch history book. Then at least it's more likely to be accurate, and less likely to be trying and failing to be funny.
