It is well written.
I was drawn in from the first page. Good story and characters that touched my heart. Will definitely read other stories from this series.
I really enjoyed this book. It had some intense and suspenseful moments. It was very original and quite interesting. I enjoyed learning about the gorillas and their training. I didn’t like the anti-religion aspects, but both sides of that argument do exist in our society. I still found it an enjoyable read.
This is a great book for all ages. The plot centers around the abduction of a small child who was left in her car seat while her mother rushed inside a store to buy diapers. In the van next to her is another “person” who witnesses the entire event. Unfortunately, the witness doesn’t speak – she uses a form of sign language which can be difficult …
This book was okay. A bit anticlimactic at the end. Interesting concept with a signing gorilla though. I read it pretty quickly, so it is an easy leisurely read.
I really enjoyed this book!
