Cooke really loves animals and in particular the ones that she talks about in depth in this book, which I find crucial as I did not fly through this book and she was a very good companion for the journey. This was a joy to read and told me a lot that I did not know (I'm not that keen on animals so to be fair this was not difficult). Her narrative style was in that fine line between funny and actually informative without being vulgar. My favourite chapter was the hyenas one but they are all great.
