probably the best thing I've ever listened to

I loved this book so much. It brings about so many emotions. I fell in love with different animal characters and wild places and had my heart broken so many times.

A prayer for the Kalahari

I loved this story. But I'm very saddened by the plight of all African wildlife, as it tries to deal with runaway climate change and unbridled human population growth.

Well written on an important topic

The true story was written in an exciting manner and incredibly well documented. Changing readers was a good idea. I enjoyed learning about the animals.

i loved it! Adventure. Emotional highs and lows. Almost poetry at times. I love their books!

Terrible narration

Great story well told. But the narrator's voices were very hard to listen to. Annoying intonation to their sentences. I almost gave up many times but the story was compelling enough that I looked forward to each chapter and hung in til the end.
