Book Reviews of Steve & Me

Book Review: Terri Irwin's book
Summary: 5 Stars

Terri does a fantastic job of writing about her life and Steve's, especially considering much of it was done during the earlier part of grieving. As we have learned running GriefNet, the first couple years after the loss of a partner are multiple variations on pure agony. The first thing to go and often the last to return is your mind. You are forced to create new neural pathways because all the old ones lead to the same dead end: the loss of your beloved. Doing so takes time, energy, and copious tears. Coherent writing is just not on the screen unless one is already able to write well and in an organized fashion. Even then it's like carrying water in a sieve. Terri overcomes all these obstacles and creates a book that allows us into her and Steve's private world. It brings closure to those of us who still grieve his death as if it just happened. We can take comfort in knowing he had the best of all worlds: his incredible love and enthusiasm for wildlife, being able to show the world much of what he knew, the perfect soul mate, and two incredible children. Terri gives us a wonderful gift.

Summary of Steve & Me

When Terri Raines was twenty-seven years old, she took a vacation that changed her life. Leaving behind her wildlife rescue work in Oregon, Terri traveled to Australia, and there, at a small wildlife park, she met and fell in love with a tall, blond force of nature named Steve Irwin. They were married in less than a year, and Terri eagerly joined in Steve's conservation work. The footage filmed on their crocodile-trapping honeymoon became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter, and together, Steve and Terri began to change the world.

In Steve & Me, Terri recounts the unforgettable adventures they shared -- wrangling venomous snakes, saving deadly crocodiles from poachers, swimming among humpback whales. A uniquely gifted naturalist, Steve was first and foremost a wildlife warrior dedicated to rescuing endangered animals -- especially his beloved crocs -- and educating everyone he could reach about the importance of conservation. In the hit TV shows that continue to be broadcast worldwide, Steve's enthusiasm lives on, bringing little-known and often-feared species to light as he reveals and revels in the wonders of our planet.

With grace, wit, and candor, Terri Irwin portrays her husband as he really was -- a devoted family man, a fervently dedicated environmentalist, a modest bloke who spoke to millions on behalf of those who could not speak for themselves. Steve & Me is a nonstop adventure, a real-life love story, and a fitting tribute to a man adored by all those whose lives he touched, written by the woman who knew and loved him best of all.
