Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-12 00:00:00 Peter Renskoff Thor shares his two year stint in Uganda with the Peace Corp. His mission was to habituate a troop of gorillas to humans in order to support eco-tourism, and that part is absorbing. But the book really is about his whole experience in that area, including a bit of history, culture, his relationship with the community , the hardships and triumphs. This is not something I would ever wish to do, so it was great I could share Thor's experience vicariously. The only criticism from me is the grainy photographs and terrible blurry cover-not at all indicative of the quality of the story.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-29 00:00:00 Aaron Fleck To be honest, I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would! Frequently you read books by people who have visited Africa and it's focused on their "need to do good for the world" or some other self serving cause. I liked that Thor didn't make that a main thread of his book, and instead focused on the intersection of gorillas, tourism, and Uganda. A must read for people visiting Uganda, or Africa in general!
