## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A riveting read
*by J***R on 31 October 2009*

I opened this book and finished it in two reading sessions, in short I could not put it down. Lawrence Anthony's stunning detailed account of the appalling conditions he found, the people he met on this adventure and the surprising humanity he encountered from unexpected sources made me feel as though I was right there with him. In this book, you live the dust,the heat, the stench,the day to day fight to survive in a war zone, the frustration of bureaucracy, the camaraderie of those around him and the extraordinary determination to save the animals.Lawrence Anthony's account is one of incredible perseverance and resolve under extreme conditions and is both tragic and heartwarming. His admiration for the Iraqi people who risked their lives to help on this mission shines through this book. The assistance he received from the American troops was quite a revelation. Having achieved so much, we can share with the author, the frustration and sadness of the mindless incident towards the end of the book. I wept and laughed many times. Lawrence Anthony comes across as a person with deep empathy for humans and animals alike and would be a fascinating character to meet.An unmissable read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one of the best books I have read in many years
*by A***D on 16 September 2014*

This is one of the best books I have read in many years. The amazing story of the author is a remarkable tale of an individual who just would take no for an answer in the face of often insurmountable obstacles. His courage and determination to save a group of animals that everyone else had given up on is a real inspiration not only to animal lovers but also restores faith in the fact that there are still some unselfish individuals that risk everything to make a real difference to our environment and the beautiful creatures that inhabit it. The emotional roller coaster that the reader is taken on has all the hallmarks of a classic Hollywood movie so come on Tom Hanks and Steven Speilburg grab this story by the scruff of the neck and tell the world of this remarkable man and his truly inspiring exploits!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly vital insight into the logistics of war and it’s special relationships
*by Z***E on 27 August 2021*

I am writing a book about rescuing a zoo that has been devastated by an earthquake so found this book riveting and it confirmed that I was on the right track about the the lack of resources. I didn’t find the proselytism about saving the planet very interesting as I don’t need lecturing about that - I’m anxious enough about it already! Very skilfully written - well done Graham Spence!
