A literary effort of real consequence, a book that informs and entertains, but at the same time is pleasing to the eye and to the ear... One closes Lou Jacobs' book with the wish that it did not have to come to an end... [because] one has been to Africa with Lou and surveyed the passing scene through his amused, discerning eye. -- Edwin H. Colbert Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology
