review 1: I missed the television series, but a friend knowing my love for wildlife and nature lent me this book and I'm really glad she did. The book is mostly written by Mark Cawardine but has a foreword by Stephen Fry. The book is informative and well written,and highlights the plight of various endangered species, both well known and not. There are also many amazing photos both of the animals and of the locations visited.Its written in a humorous and entertaining style, but in a way that does not detract at all from the seriousness of the subject matter, nor the importance of it's message.All in all I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in wildlife/nature or/and conservation.
review 2: Took me a while to read, but that was mainly as this was my bath... moreroom book, so only a few pages were getting read at a time. But what a wonderful book. Following on from the adventures Mark had with Douglas Adams 20 years previously, Mark returned to some of the same places to see what had changed, but this time he took another author and legend with him in the shape of Stephen Fry. There is so much humour in this book it is a pleasure to read, Mark's writing style is superb without going into any technical detail. Stephen doesn't seem to fit into the mould of a nature traveller at all, but he gives it his all, to some minor mishaps along the way, with his usual amount of good humour. These two make an excellent pairing and i would love to see them do it all again down the line. less
