 Gorillas October 3, 2000
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Gorillas in the Mist, Dian Fosseyis own account of her life with the gorillas, was first published in by Hodder Mifflin in 1983. During Fossey's time in Africa, Fossey had a chance to live her dream with the mountain gorillas and learn about their fascinating characteristics and lifestyles. Fossey through her emotion and story, shows the peaceful life of the humble Gorilla. She also expresses the evils of man kind toward other species with her description of the poachers who hunted the Gorillas. The novel is inspiring and up lifting. Fosseys one woman struggle inspires readers to get up and act on beliefs no matter what the situation. It was such a heart breaker to find the Dian Fossey was murdered. Not only does Fossey express her emotions but she uses great scientific and technical support throughout the book. I recommend the book to any reader, especially animal lovers

If you have ever had a dream but have being to afraid to do it then right from the opening pages you will be inspired to go right ahead and try. Dian Fossey tells her story with strong deep emotions as well as technical data. It is truly a story of self liberation and gorilla liberation!

This book shows how cruel humans can be, and at the same time displays the compassion and kindness that we all strive to achieve. Dian Fossey opened my eyes to how cold-hearted some people are, inspiring me to want to do good things for the world, just like she did for so many innocent animal lives. A truly heart breaking/heart warming book

Vividly detailed and expressed beautifully by a woman who's compassion was to study these magnificent creatures.This book goes on to detail gorillas and their lives as well as the conflicts of deforestation and the fight to save them.You get to know individual gorillas as well as Diane Fossey and her life.I recommend this book to anyone, especially animal lovers. :)

we need more funding for gorillas in Africa to keep their species alive and well to learn more about them since they are the only animals that are closest to our species
