Extremely interesting book. The author has gone into great detail to compare gorillas to humans and has done a good job.

I won this is an giveaway and am very happy to have done so.
I won this book in the First Reads giveaway.
In general, this is not the kind of book I tend to read. But I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this book. It was well researched, thought provoking and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to find something different.

A perfect beautiful and philosophical book about gorillas and humans. Gorillas are, without doubt, the more likable species.
I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads. This is a great read. Thought provoking while entertaining.
