Reminiscent of Michael Crichton's works, this book is thrilling, philosophical, and perfectly crafted. You would think a book so short would leave you wanting, but this is truly a self contained story.  It is masterful how the author was able to fit so many unique characters into one 100 page story. And you get to learn about elephant conservation!!!

I picked up this book thinking it was it was going to manage to fit in every thing in the synopsis in such a tiny book and make a coherent story but it did and actually threw in a couple more threads and was pretty satisfying as a cohesive story. On the other hand it's very very heavy-handed in it's messaging to the point that I started to not be able to be in the story

Not interested in the subject matter. Pacing felt rushed.
