review 1: This book was absolutely adorable! The monkeys and their relationship with Ryan is as heart warming as their adventure is dangerous. The tug of war between atheists and religious extremists makes you question what you would do if you were in the same position as Ryan, and it gives you a really profound connection with the story. There were so many points in the story where I found myself either chuckling, saying "awww" or being worried. It's definitely a page turner and I can't wait to read the other titles in the series.
review 2: I am going to go totally counter to a lot of the reviewers here. This book is one of the most creative premises that I have read in years and I read about a hundred books a year. Even if the protagonist's uncle says"dude" a few too m... moreany times and even if I guessed what was going to happen in the end the moral questions that this book brings out are mind blowing. If you read it with an open mind it takes the issue of evolution and turns it on its ear. I rarely give five stars, but Mr. Hadden thinks outside the box and brings out moral issues that will challenge both sides of the evolution struggle. If books two and three in the series Mr. Hadden continues to think outside the box this will be one of my favorite series. You should by the book and make your own decision on its merits. I am not telling the story here as you should make that discovery for yourself. less
