I am loathe to say too much about this book as Leo hasn't read it yet. I will say that this is a fantastic book that explores the nature of invasive chimp research and even more importantly, how they are treated in their "retirement" years. While providing useful facts, the book also retains a strong narrative which I enjoyed. Furthermore, the character development (chimp and human) was also robust.
It is a testament to the quality of this book that I raced through it over the Christmas holidays. I am usually much more plodding with my non-fiction reads. Even people who don't typically read non-fiction are likely to enjoy this book and I therefore recommend it without qualification.
