Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. So disappointed, not even close to the caliber of "Water for Elephants" IMHO. (  ) schoenbc70 | Sep 2, 2023 |  I liked just about everything about this book; the main characters, the fast pace, the happy ending. But I did have a problem with the whole premise of a family of bonobo apes "starring" in a reality TV show. In the novel the show becomes a sensational hit and I just don't think humans would pay money to watch a family of apes living in a house fit for humans. I liked the idea of reading a novel which discussed the mistreatment of great apes, I just wish Sarah Gruen had come up with a more plausible premise to get her point across. (  ) kevinkevbo | Jul 14, 2023 | Isabell deeply cares for the bonobos she is studying and teaching to use sign language to communicate. John, a reporter who is getting frustrated with how he's treated at work, is doing a story on Isabell and her primates. When someone attacks the lab, nearly killing Isabell and letting loose the monkeys, who are soon secretly sold to a TV producer who makes a reality show out of them, both Isabell and John find their lives turned upside down. I'm not sure how this one got onto my TBR, but I'm glad it did. It's not my usual fare, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The characters are interesting, and although the story isn't exactly complex, it's fun, and the bonobos are a delight. ( ) electrascaife | Apr 7, 2023 | The parts of the story that dealt with the bonobos and the language projects associated with them were great. Other parts veered into the implausible and then straight to just plain bizarre. I did NOT enjoy the narrator. He could be OK at times, but most of the time he just sounded flat. Then, in voicing for one female character, I couldn't tell if he was going for a British accent or valley girl. That became extremely distracting. (  ) CarolHicksCase | Mar 12, 2023 | The book is good and the subject matter dealing with the abilities of great apes is really fascinating anf is also based on real things going on with this research. The story is good and topical (reality TV, eco terrorists, etc.) My only negative comment would be that at times I thought there was too much time/pages spent on the back stories vs. the apes. Never the less, I recommend it if you like animals. ( ) Rick686ID | Jan 27, 2021 |
 Gruen's gift for reaching across the species divide is as evident in "Ape House" as it was in her mega-selling "Water for Elephants," which featured Rosie, the Depression-era circus elephant. Not since Jack London explored the boundaries between the domesticated dog and the wolf in "The Call of the Wild" has a writer dramatized the bonds between humans and our fellow creatures with such empathy.
