Book Reviews of In the Shadow of Man
Book Review: Chimp-man continuum
Summary: 5 Stars
"In the shadow of man" reads like a recently published book, not published in 1971. The argumnets are strong that it is hard for dispute theory of evolution and our intimate relation to other animals. This book, and others, made me quit my religious beliefs that my parents instilled in me long time ago. I hope other people whill enjoy the book the same way I did.Book Review: Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife is slowly navigating this book as it is a slower paced read. Awesome story, though.Book Review: Emotive but Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I think that the first few chapters are crucial to her story. If it had started in the Gombe Reserve and just been a straight account of her observations, frankly, I would have stopped 40 pages into it. I don't think she lingers too long on this.Shortly after, she begins to introduce the reader to the chimps as individuals. Even though the book is filled with her telling us about the chimps, she does also show us things she's learned by vividly describing an instance or action. I liked that she doesn't hide the fact that she has opinions (from the reader.) Even though I do not share many of her opinions, I found her to be an honest writer.
Book Review: Great Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book a long time ago and have looked into it many times since. It's an entertaining read that teaches us not just about chimpanzees but also about human nature and behavior. If you pay attention to this book, you'll be a better person for it!Book Review: I loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to read this book for school, and I loved it! It really made the chimpanzees feel like human characters. I wish I could go live at the research center!
