Book Reviews of Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived

Book Review: This book should be required reading!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

In my 25 years as a reader and writer, his is one of the best stories I have ever read. Although the writing could be improved, the author has done an admirable job of bringing this deeply moving story to the world. By my estimate Helfer waited approximately 20 years after the deaths of Bram and Modoc to tell this story. Why did he wait so long? This story deserves to made into a major motion picture.
