My Opinion:
I really wish I hadn't just finished Animal Life, before finishing this book. I felt at the end, that there could have been so much more added to this book, and I was a little disappointed in its length.
On the other side of things, I really liked what was given. The animals in this particular book are different in nature, and the author lays the book out in a beautiful way. I LOVE the macro (close-up) shots of the creatures! Quite fascinating stuff!
I can't recommend it, but won't hate on it either.

(3/5)

    I dont think this book is right for me. I seriouley get the creeps when I see a little bug. I do not like animals so close. :) But I do like it as a gift, to give away to a special friend who loves nature and animals.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane.
