Andrew Krivak’s, “The Bear” is pure propaganda. The writing is sparse and well down, but the story fails due to poor plot and characters. Everyone is portrayed as being smart until they need to be stupid in order for the plot to move forward. By far, the worst problems of the book are its morals. It promotes a neo-pagan idolization of nature while portraying humanity and human civilization as evil. It finally concludes that the death of mankind is a natural good.
