What did you think? I was looking at that on Audible as a possible choice.

I liked it well enough; quirky characters (not just the apes) and some thoughts about interesting pop cutlure topics and human/humanity issues. Not as good as Water For Elephants, but it read quick and was enjoyable.

Reminds me of the ape in Congo.
