Truly excellent. A look at how far we’ve come in the care and understanding of captive chimpanzees but also an indictment of the current treatment of our nearest cousins. Surprisingly (ha), I have nothing to complain about with this book. Parts of it are upsetting and extremely sad, but it’s handled well and is education, not wallowing. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in human/non-human relations, wildlife protection, or in biomedical research. I listened to the audiobook read by the author, and his performance is stellar, as well.
