Add a CommentA well-researched novel about the lives of elephants in constant fear of human preditors. I learned a lot about elephants, but the story was not exciting. (May 2004)
This was a very unique book. The story is told from the elephants' point of view. It was tragic and took a little while to get used to but I thought it was really an amazing look into the lives of elephants.
