Monica, one of the things I like about long reviews is seeing how different people pick up different things in a book.

I think it is so interesting how people review this book. Like you I’m not one to gravitate to an animal book and, in fact, as I wrote in my review I tend to especially shy away from books about animals set in Africa. But it was the fantastic way Schrefer brought in the issues of contemporary African and, especially, the DRC that made it such a winner for me. Yet others such as the NYTimes reviewer come to it more for their interest in animals and their reviews then tend to focus more on that then the aspects that appealed so much to you and me.
