Review: Could have been much better
Rating: 3 out of 5

While this book had an excellent premise, I felt the actual follow through was weak, with entirely too much narrative.  I want to experience a story, not have it told to me.  I did like Alex's ability to communicate with animals, which is the main reason I purchased this book and the chimps communicating with ASL was very interesting.  I think a little more editing and tightening up some of the scenes would help the book tremendously. The ending was very abrupt and I didn't get a real good sense of closure.
