5 stars for the book, but 3 stars for the audiobook - it was read as a conversation between the authors, and I loved listening to Jane read her thoughts. But it needed to be adapted a bit more for the audiobook. The attribution words (like "Jane said," "Jane laughed,") were SO intrusive and annoying.

Jane Goodall has been one of those people who I’ve always seen and admired for her work with/for animals and as a naturalist. Listening to her tell of her adventures, tragedies, successes, and life was wonderful. She is passionate while being encouraging. She teaches while also learning. She listens while also communicating. She is full of hope and has me more encouraged and hopeful about our future.

I loved the content but felt challenged by the presentation - it felt like I was reading a children’s book.

****4.5****

Jane Goodall, world’s most famous living naturalist, an expert on chimpanzees sits down with Douglas Abrams and talks about a topic which is much needed in these days - HOPE.

This book is a real eye opener on Jane's work around the world and truly inspiring. She insists on the power of humans who are resilient, kind and wise. Though Humans might not have used these power for a greater good. And that will effect and is also effecting not only humankind but the entire inhabitants of the earth. Jane tells the readers, there's still hope, it is not too late to reverse the effect of human deeds.

There are a lot of photograph's spanning Jane's life and many more stories which will instill hope, love and empathy on reader's surroundings. Jane is an inspiring , incredible life force. A wonderful book.
Happy Reading!!
