Book Reviews of Last Chance to See
Book Review: "So What?"
Summary: 4 Stars
"So what?" That is the question I would often ask myself when I would hear people try to preach about the fact that we as humans are doing so much harm to the world. I would get completely frustrated because I didn't feel that it was our fault animals were going extinct. I just simply thought humans were more intelligent and therefore deserved everything we were creating for ourselves, no matter what we destroyed in the process.Last Chance to See started out a litle dry and I wondered if I was going to be able to take yet another author telling me how horrible humans are. But, actually, this book was completely different. The authors never take it to the extreme in their efforts to solve extinction. THere is no preaching in this book. The facts are simply laid out and it is left completely up to the reader to do with these facts what they choose.
Whether you believe humans are to blame for extinction of valuable animals or not, you would enjoy this book. I can say that after reading it I definitely think twice about simple daily activities, because I never realized just how severe animal extiction is. I still don't believe that humans are to blame for the extinction of animals. I will say that we sometimes act in what may apppear to be selfish ways, but I think we truly have good intentions.
Read Last Chance TO see. It has the ability to make you question your opinion without ever once having to preach to you. It is full of interestiong facts while at the same time the authors manage to throw in a little humor and make you laugh while you learn. It may make you stop asking the question, "So what?"
