Disclaimer: this is the first non-fiction book I’ve read that isn’t an encyclopaedia, so I’m not really sure how to review it, and I don’t have anything to compare it to.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the mix of memoir (Jane Goodall was my childhood icon~ ) and self-help; the topic of hope felt very relevant to me as a senior high school student who is hoping to get into medicine. The way Jane’s philosophies were weaved between anecdotes of her work with animals and the environment, the experiences of other human beings, and general events in history, or the present, was engaging and on many occasions had me curious for further reading.
Some parts were a bit slow for me, I could have done with about 30 pages taken out, but I think it was very well done overall. Highly recommend.

I guess I was just in too much of a cynical mood for this book at this time. I might give it a try at another time in the future. It was horrible or anything, the pace was just too slow and didn't really grab my attention.

The dialogues are TERRIBLY transcribed. So annoying! The book goes also into the spiritual land (WTF?!). I really expected something more coherent, organized and scientific.
