READ THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU HIT SEND.
Completely and utterly hilarious
—— Stephen FryIn every case, the presence and personality of the endangered animals rise off the page - even when the authors don't manage to find them. The writing may be witty, but this book is a sobering reminder of what a very great deal we have to lose
—— Independent on SundayThis is life or death stuff, but Adams is a writer who chooses not to shake his finger at the reader. He fails completely in the self-righteous-piety department. Instead he invites us to enter a conspiracy of laughter and caring

—— Amazon.co.uk reader reviewWho would have thought that a book in the field of "ecology/nature" ... could be as lively, sharply satirical, brilliantly written and even funny as this one? ... ranks with the best set pieces in Mark Twain
—— Atlantic MonthlyIf the measure of a book's worth is the strength of the urge to 'get out and do something' that it gives you, then LAST CHANCE... is way up there with the best of them.
—— Amazon.co.uk reader reviewYalom is a gifted storyteller, and from the sound of these tales, a no-less-gifted psychotherapist
—— Los Angeles TimesThis is an impressive transformation of clinical experience into literature. Dr Yalom's case histories are more gripping than 98 percent of the fiction published today, and he has gone to amazing lengths of honesty to depict himself as a realistic flesh-and-blood character: funny, flawed, perverse, and, above all, understanding
—— Phillip LopateI loved Love's Executioner. Dr Yalom has learned something that fiction writers learned years ago - that people's mistakes are a lot more interesting than their triumphs

—— Peter MatthiessenRequired reading for anyone who wants to experience the joys and sorrows of conservation in today's Africa
—— Wilbur SmithRoot’s enthralling memoir…is the best true-life adventure story to come out of Africa for years
—— Sunday TelegraphHis is a funny, harrowing, beautifully written love letter to Africa
—— Christopher Hart , Sunday TimesIn this captivating memoir [Root] documents his brushes in the bush and his passion for wildlife

A gripping account of a life well lived
