Reviews

Through her dedication and impeccable documentation of the chimpanzees in the Gombe region, Goodall showed not only the science and behaviour of our fellow apes, but also their stories and growth. I am particularly impressed by Goodall's tenacity and patience in the unforgiving jungle environment. Reading the book feels like listening to a close friend retelling stories from a family trip. The stories are touching and I feel like I now also have a relationship with Flo, Fifi, David Graybeard, Mike, and Goodall's whole extended family, human or chimps.
