I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Stefan Swanepoel wrote a wonderful and insightful book. His writing draws you in and make you feel like your in Africa. You learn about the animals of the serengeti while learning about yourself {strenghts and weeknesses}.It was a fast read but one that you want to reread.What animal are you? I would be a mongoose. (l
