I thought this was a nice book. It was filled with interesting and whimsical facts regarding animals and how they communicate which kept me entertained throughout. It did also make me question my own opinions of different animal groups, which I felt was the authors intention.

The book’s fall back however was that it read very much like a dissertation or a collection of research papers. Which I actually didn’t mind until the points started to become a little stretched and more like a personal thesis. Particularly a part towards the end about animals needing a political voice, which even as a Zoology graduate and animal lover, I thought was a bit far.

Still enjoyed though, 3 stars.
