endpaper 's review for:

Alex & Me by Irene M. Pepperberg
4.0

Though I, as a heartless kind of bastard, had a hard time wading though the first twenty percent concerned with Alex's death and the reaction of the public, once I got to the other side, I found a delightful and intriguing book that ultimately caused massive admiration for Alex and for Pepperberg. Our anthropocentric view must go. That and Aristotelian and Cartesian misunderstandings. Highly recommended for animal intelligence lovers.
