Thinking about this book makes me angry. Trying to read it made me even angrier, so I'm not going to bother with the rest of it even though it's less than 50 pages.
The interesting things about animals mentioned in this book could be fit on maybe five pages; the rest is filler. Or I should say that the things that could be interesting would fit on that many pages because the authors made none of it interesting. The authors didn't write any of their arguments clearly; I had to wade through paragraphs and sometimes pages of inanities before they got to their point. By then I just didn't care. They also dumbed their explanations down to the point that I couldn't really follow them; I was too bored to attend to the page.
I can't believe I wasted time on this. If I had bought this book instead of taking it out from the library I'd be tempted to set it on fire.
