Després de buscar llibres sobre Uganda, vaig acabar triant aquest, tot i que l'acció no passi ben bé a Uganda però sí en una zona fronterera. És un llibre interessant, però de ritme molt irregular: a vegades àgil i distret, sobretot quan parla dels propis goril·les, però a vegades dens i feixuc.
La història és tràgica: molts goril·les assassinats per caçadors furtius, infanticidi entre goril·les... Lectura interessant, però no fàcil.

It was really slow paced for me & I found myself not quite interested enough in the day to day of life white ministering gorillas as I thought I would be. I loved the parts where it talked about gorillas and their behaviors in a more informative way, but there was less of that than I was anticipating.
First, I will say that I am a primatology student and usually devour popular works by leaders in the field, old and new. I just finished and LOVED "Reflections of Eden" by Birute Galdikas. However, it was tough for me to get through this book for two reasons. First, some of Fossey's methods for solving problems were unethical and slightly disturbing so I would stop reading for a while. Also, there were long chapters that detailed the lives of certain gorilla individuals or families that I thought were rambling and uninteresting (and again, I study primate behavior!) The chapters that included other humans, other animals, personal feelings, camp life, etc. could have been better entwined with the text about the gorillas to make the book easier to read. Still, this is an important work by an important woman pioneer in the field of primatology...
