Jennie Audiobook

" 10 out of 10 Hey where's the review I just typed??! Well here goes again: This is one of only two books I've read in my lifetime that brought tears to my eyes. I've always been an animal lover but this book made me realise just how alike the great apes are to us and they really need to be protected before they are wiped out. "

" Science fiction based on real instances of chimps raised by humans. Not a whirlwind thriller like most of the Preston/Child collaborations, but well researched. It follows the point of view of several characters through diary entries, interviews, and letters. I laughed, I cried, I sobbed at the end. It's one of those animal stories. But it has piqued my interest in reading some of the non-fiction of Jane Goodall. Written with clarity and realism I had to keep reminding myself if was fiction. "

" I loved this endearing, loving and sad book about raising chimpanzees in a human home. Made me cry! I will so support the organizations that are out there trying to protect chimps and apes in the wild. "

" Fiction based on several anthropological studies with the great apes. I loved every word "

" Sweet. Sorrowful. Creative way to put a true story to the page. I wish I could have met Jennie--a chimp that was brought home by a scientist and raised as a child. She is adorable! And incorrigible. And darling. Pretty crazy story. "

" Fantastic read. really enjoyed it. "

" ficton that reads like the truth. a sad ending, though. the whole story is very plausible, probably because it's heavily based on lots of different true events - they just didnt happen all to the same person. "

" Very good and realistic, but extremely depressing "

" It a very heart touching story of a chimpanzee and will really make you cry towards the end. So, if you have a light heart then don't ever go for it. "

" One of the best books I've read, compelling, thought provoking and even funny. You can't help but love Jennie and feel for the characters. "

" Very thought provoking and a little sad. I enjoyed reading this book. "

" It was very good. Very compelling story and easy to believe, even though it was fiction. "

" i didn't care about the chimp. i liked the way the author handled all the first person voices. "

" This novel will make you question the notion of what is right, have tissues handy. "

" Truly a gripping and fasinating story. One of Preston's greatest works. "

" This book alternated between humorous, insightful, and heartbreaking. It gets 5 stars for its realistic portrayal of a chimpanzee raised in a human family and the unforeseen consequences of such a situation. "

" Not a bad book by a guy who has written some good and bad books. "

" I enjoyed it a lot -- very well written. The story line seemed very plausible to me, and I really connected with the family that was raising Jennie. "

" This is a semi-fictionalized account of the story that inspired Curios George. Based on reality, what happens when a chimp is raised as a human child. The end will make you cry and you will walk away from it completely charmed. "

" Picked this book up at a dollar store not thinking it would be so great. It's really powerful, be ready to cry. "

" This book really struck a chord with me. It was a remarkable touching story! I can't look at any type of primate without thinking of this book and the awarness it brought out! "
