This book changed my life. It is undoubtedly one of the best books I have ever read. The story of Washoe and her other chimp friends is endearing and fascinating. It is a story that will make you laugh, cry, get angry, find redemption, hate mankind, love animals and want to change the world. It is a must-read for anyone who shares their life with animals or loves animals.
