Ape House by Sara Gruen
5.0
After having read both Water for Elephants and now Ape House I have got to say that Sara Gruen is quickly moving to the top of my favorite author list. I love the way she narrates her stories. I also love her passion for taking real life events and turning them into fictional masterpieces.
I found myself incredibly emotional while reading this book. The characters are perfectly flawed and the apes are wonderfully humanized to allow the reader to attach to them the same way one would humanize their own pet.
Something about the way Sara Gruen narrates really grabs me. She is able to tell a story so naturally that I forget I'm reading a novel and I feel instead as though she is in the room telling me the story. I get lost in reading her words and when I come back to the surface I feel incredibly satisfied.
Overall it was a great concept, great writing and a great story.
