Wonderful story, told very well.  Not overly dramatic, not condescending or patronizing in anyway.  I am pleasantly surprised that more was not said against the chimpanzee. The authors let the primate specialists tell the story of Travis and how all the speculating, anger and blame in the world will not ever explain away the simplicity of the attack that was inevitable as is the natural way of the adolescent chimpanzee.  Excuses were not made, "blame" was not tossed back and forth, even the victim of the attack and her family did not seem to be doing the interviews for negative attention or bandwagon sentimentality.
