Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds by Joy Adamson
2.0
I'll start with what I liked about this book: the pictures.
Now, I don't know what you're looking for in a book. But to warn you, this book is mildly racist, scatterbrained, and boring at some parts. One paragraph she'll be telling this one story and then she'll get off track and tell a different story without summing up the first one or giving the second relevance or importance. Some areas I zoomed through reading and others I practically fell asleep at. I thought it would be interesting because it was about a lion... I guess lions can be boring, too.
My last issue with this book is when she beat Elsa for mauling the donkey and when she would say she "didn't like to kill animals." Whenever she said she didn't like killing animals, she would follow it up with some story of why they 'had' to kill an animal. Her husband would randomly kill animals and she would talk about how it was 'necessary.'
