Alex & Me by Irene M. Pepperberg
3.0

It's a shame Alex didn't dictate his memoirs before his untimely death; I think he could have come up with a punchier book than the one written by the author.

Alex & Me is fine in the sense that it moves along quickly and seems to cover their history together but it was a bit on the sterile side and Dr. Pepperberg appears to have no ability to make what should be a funny story funny. At best her anecdotes are cute but they could have been much more.

I don't recall whether I've seen them on television but I suspect that's the better way to appreciate their partnership.
