Z is for Zoo Story. I really enjoyed this book. It was informative, well-written, and well paced. The story never dragged and I was never bored.
I appreciated how French focused on all aspect of the zoo. We heard about the keepers, their relationship to the animals, their relationship to each other, the history of some of the animals, species extinction and conservation, the politics of running a zoo, and traits of the various species. I never knew elephants sometimes buried their dead and can be incredibly destructive to ecosystems or that chimps lead violent viking-like raids.
French didn’t sugarcoat things and the account felt fairly unbiased. The zoo wasn’t perfect but the world isn’t perfect
