Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel
4.0
Because of my studies in linguistics and animal language I found this book very interesting. It is set in the 1970s so Ben and I are about the same age. I learned about Washoe and Nim Chimpsky in the early 80s. What did it feel like living with a chimp? I really empathized with Ben.
The story was slow in places and it was easy to put down and do other things unlike some books I read. This is definitely a book for a competent reader. The draw of living with a chimp appeal to lots of kids and adults I think.
