Great story concept and interesting characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through!
I was a little skeptical when I read about who the witness is but the story was factual & well developed to portray the abilities of the witness. Easy to read, entertaining and informative.
Really liked this book. Read this in one day. When I got to the end I immediately bought the next book in the series. Can’t wait till my e-reader gets charged so I can read it.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well written and their actions and reactions were quite natural.
I loved this book! Was up all night just to finish it. Great characters and realistic action. A must read. Will get next book too!
This book was very interesting and an easy read. It was easy to pick back up and remember where I left off. Just the right number of characters to be able to keep track.
I think it was an interesting idea but fell far short of what it could have been. Wouldn’t recommend or read the next in the series.
Super read!
Informative, just enough drama, great characters. Happy ending without being sappy. some interesting irony. A real page turning, good story.
Keeps you reading!
Great concept. A little predictable. The bad religious people did it. (almost as trite as the butler did it) I did enjoy the story however.
I loved this book! I am fascinated with the subject of teaching gorillas and/or other primates sign language.
Caught my attention i.mediately.
Not a great novel but an unusual story animal lovers will enjoy. Using thhe eye witness account of a signing gorilla as the path to solving the heartbreaking kidnapping of an infant, the plot slowly resolves with a happy ending where all problems are resolved.
I enjoyed the plot and the unexpected twists.
Loved the characters and different story line than the usual. Well written!
An original, wonderful, satisfying book.
I liked this book because of Neema. She was so smart.
Neema was definitely a surprise.
I enjoyed reading this book, thank you
