A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond Between Two Friends and a Lion Audiobook

" Can't believe they bought a lion cub at harrods! Lovely story, very charming. "

" a quick read...interesting that this all happened almost 40 years ago, and there's renewed interest in it because of YouTube. Christian was obviously a very unique lion, and if you're an animal lover, you'll enjoy reading this. "

" I saw the reuniting clip on YouTube and wanted to know the TRUE story behind this lion. The book is written by the men who raised the lion and reveals which rumors are true and false. If you have seen the show, 'Born Free', there was a relation between the lions used in the film and Christian. It is certainly worth the reading as it is a remarkable story. "

" This book and story is incredible. It's the story of Christian the lion, the story behind the Youtube reunion. Christian is bought by two young men in London, England and form an inseparable bond. Through the struggles they face raising and caring for a lion, the reward is priceless. An amazing tale of the love and affection animals can have on humans and themselves. "

" Loved the pictures inside. I want a big kitty. "

" This was an easy read. It was a wonderful tale about 2 best friends and their journey with owning a lion cub and then releasing him back into the wild with teh assistance of George Adamson. There were lots of quirky stories but the entire book left you with a warm fuzzy feeling. Cannot begin to describe how much i enjoyed the book. I even went so far as to dream what it would be like owning a lion cub! "

" Overall it's a good book. It shows that humans and lions/animals can coexist together without having to kill each other. "

" Great book. Its a little funny and a little sad but over all pretty good. "

" Writing nothing spectacular but a great storey "
