Review: Loved this book! At first I was not sure whether to read it as it was written in the 60's so thought the info would be out of date etc but how wrong I was. Dian Fossey gave her life to the conservation of gorillas and I really related to her in this book. I think it is amazing what she did and how she managed to habituate the mountain gorillas as well as her struggle with rescued orphans. I found this book truly inspirational and anyone with an interest in apes and conservation will love this. I have since bought the National Geographic DVD that accompanies this book. This book was written by Dian Fossey 2 years before she was killed so it is a complete book and doesn't end abruptly. I enjoyed this book slightly more than 'In the Shadow of man' by Jane Goodall just because of the way it was written I just seemed to engage with Dian Fossey slightly more and I have the same views as her that all animals should be wild and free and never kept in cages. Zoos can never provide what freedom and the wild can. Highly recommended!

Review: This is a cheap copy of this book. The fonts used are virtually unreadable. The photographs are very poor photocopies. I have never been so disappointed in a book. It was intended as a present for my granddaughter but it is so bad I will not be giving it to her.
