Ape House by Sara Gruen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was really hoping I would love this book as much as Water for Elephants and it did not disappoint. I was enthralled from the beginning. Isabelle lives in an ape's world. She does linguistic training with Bonobo apes and it is amazing to see how the apes can communicate. When an explosion at the center leaves the apes homeless and Isabelle injured, she does everything in her power to save the apes and make sure they are not being exploited. The story is touching and exciting and I look forward to more from Gruen.
