review 1: A fun little book with stacks of interesting, amusing facts about the wacky, stranger than fiction creatures we share our planet with. This isn't the sort of book you read from cover to cover in one sitting, I found myself stealing moments to read a chapter at a time (each only being two pages) whenever I had a few minutes going free. Light, educational and in some cases eye opening, this is a lovely foray into wildlife, told with decent lashings of wit and wisdom so as not to make the subject matter too dry and dull. Bravo!
review 2: After much thought, I decided The Book of Animal Ignorance is like eating potato chips-I couldn't stop reading it, but it was not making me feel good. My first problem with the book is the short vignettes of only about 2 pages pe... morer animal, a format which I generally don't relate well too because I seem to lose all the information as I move on to the next unrelated topic. The second is that to make the subjects as interesting as possible the authors used exaggeration and focused on obscure facts. The piece on cats was stilted apparently by their personal dislikes. Then I noted several errors of which one was covered on NPR just the other day. All of this just made me skeptical about the book and its accuracy. Next time, I pick up a book I will make sure the authors have some professional expertise in the subject. less
