Product Description
Set on the rugged north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, The Iguana tells the realistic, yet fabulous, story of an extraordinary friendship between two young boys who appear to have nothing in common except a tragic loneliness. Recently, the narrator’s safe childhood world was shattered by a fatal snowmobile accident involving his parents. He was taken in by his grandparents in the village of Ferland, "a natural crucible where the wind merges with the forest and the waves." Slowly, he befriends his classmate Luc Bezeau, a misfit who takes refuge from a brutal home environment in a magical undersea realm inhabited by fantastic beings. Together, the boys construct new reasons for living, which launch them on a wild, adventurous search. The author’s dramatic flair and lyrical imagination pull the reader straight into the heart of a plot where hope and helplessness, love and desperation collide.

L’iguane (The Iguana), Denis Thériault’s first novel, was published to great critical acclaim and won three major literary prizes: the Prix Anne-Hébert 2002, the Prix France-Québec/Jean Hamelin 2001, and the Prix Odyssée 2002 for best first novel. ... Read more

A fresh approach to Iguana care
In the 2 years I've had my adopted Iguana Igloo, I have skimmed or read a number of books and websites about Iguana care.This book was easy to read and share information from it with children in the family.I also appreciated the author's fresh approaches to training an iguana and some realistic things to think about before getting one as a pet.So many people do not realize what they're really asking for when they purchase or adopt an iguana; I know I sure didn't.But if you truly care about the animal you have, you will do everything you can to care for it properly. I think this book is a great, comprehensive guide in easy to read format with lots of great ideas for beginning, and experienced, iguana caretakers! ... Read more

For those animal lovers less inclined to adopt a furry friend, finding up-to-date reptile information and ownership instruction can be a challenge. Karen Rosenthal's The Iguana: An Owner's Guide to a Happy, Healthy Pet is both a perfect start for any new or potential owner and a quality-of-care check for seasoned owners. The Iguana covers everything from selecting an ectotherm and understanding its environmental needs to discussions on behavior and a glossary of relevant terminology. While the book is solid in content, it is always a good idea to investigate other resources for further discussion on controversial issues such as protein intake levels and keeping iguanas as free-roaming house pets. Rosenthal's book helps with this as well, and the bibliography is a great springboard to continued exploration. ... Read more

Don't buy it
I agree completely with Harmony's review of this book.I recently purchased it at a pet store and returned it within an hour of buying it.The information is outdated and inaccurate.James Hatfield'd "Green Iguana-The Ultimate Owner's Manual" is superior by far, purchase this instead.
