Hello Fellow Readers,
When I saw this book available for review at Netgalley I almost jumped for joy. I love Dian Fossey and her mountain gorillas, plus I have been needing a Non-Fiction read so it was a win-win situation. I knew going into this that Fossey would night be pictured in the best light, but the way Fowler wrote made me picture him in a negative light. He came off as this needy, whiney, selfish and naive student who wanted Fossey to dote on him. I didn't care that he bashed Fossey as a person (and some of her accomplishments) but it was the way he did it that made him come off in a bad light.
I did like the inside scoop he gave about the camp and I love that he focused on other members of the camp as well and not just Fossey and the Gorillas. Despite not liking Fowler, I enjoyed the story he was telling and I did not want to stop reading. Kudos to him on making me do that, because usually if I dislike a main character in the book, it makes the story hard to read for me. Overall, amazing book especially if you like Dian Fossey, Primates or non-fiction!… (mais)
