Summary of this Book...
Born in Colombia, it is said she was kidnapped aged four and abandoned in the jungle, where for five extraordinary years she was raised by a colony of capuchin monkeys. As their adopted daughter, she claims she learned to scale trees and catch birds and rabbits with her bare hands, her Tarzan-like existence coming to an end only when she was discovered by hunters.
I especially liked...

I didn't like...

The author of this Book...
Lynne Barrett-Lee was born in London in 1959 and is married with three children. She has always written in her spare time, and planned early on to be the next Martin Amis or Ian McEwan. Sadly, neither of these eventualities looked like happening any time, ever, but, undeterred, she did begin to achieve publishing success in the mid 90s, as a writer of both articles and short stories for women's magazines, almost all of which have published her work over the years.
I recommend this Book because...
It's an eye opener.
