It's very devastating to read the actual story of these grizzly bear attacks because they could have been prevented. The rangers and general public did not know any better, I believe, or maybe this was a case of not believing that their actions would lead to these deadly consequences.
While the story itself was good, and the graphic novel format was a better way to deliver a fictional "I Survived" than the novel, the actual content is a public service announcement in disguise. Not a bad thing, just an FYI for future readers.
Again, the PSA format needs to occur especially, as the graphic novel relates, with the rise of people approaching wildlife for the perfect social media pic. Dude, the bear does not care about your followers. They will kill you.
