Extremely interesting book. The author has gone into great detail to compare gorillas to humans and has done a good job. I knew that gorillas were very similar to humans, but it was amazing to find out just closely we are in actions, diets and family life. Very well researched and very enlightening. 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.
