Reviews

ALMOST HUMAN is a superbly written book that has something of profound importance to say about our relationship with animals, whose existence increasingly we are both defining and curtailing. I doubt there will be a more moving and disturbing celebrity biography published any time soon. - Sydney Morning Herald
