I do disagree with the previous reviewer. I found this book to be well written, albiet with a distinct British "accent." Fascinating story as you follow Benjamin Mee as he pursues an impossible dream - to buy and redo a broken down zoo. You watch his struggles to find the financial backing, the expert help in many areas, and revitalize a worn-out staff in a worn-out zoo. At the same time he must deal with a personal tragedy. You will suffer the failures, the disappointments as well as enjoy the final triumph. And the animals - wonderful! Very involving story about a remarkable family and a remarkable success.
