Summary: AN INCREDIBLE STORY OF AN ASTOUNDING WOMAN!
Review: The legendary story of Dian Fossey and her "Gorillas in the Mist" is, by now, well known around the world. One cannot help but read this book and be left feeling an enormous sadness for the few remaining mountain gorillas left in the world. Pouchers have all but eliminated this rare and precious species. Dian's work and memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who appreciate her determination, strength and dauntless courage in fighting for what she wholeheartedly believed in - the protection of the mountain gorillas.Fossey gave her life in speaking out for her beliefs; she was murdered, most likely by poachers, in 1985. Since then, she has proven to be both an inspiration and hero in the eyes of animal rights' activists and those who truly believe in fighting for what they believe in. The book is an extremely emotional, often turbulent, book to read especially when encountering the peaceful, loving, family-oriented nature of the gorilla and the horrendous, barbaric actions of the poachers, but it is also a compelling book lovers of the animal kingdom will not want to miss. This book is highly recommended and worth a five star plus.

Summary: heart-breaking yet inspiring
Review: This book shows how cruel humans can be, and at the same time displays the compassion and kindness that we all strive to achieve. Dian Fossey opened my eyes to how cold-hearted some people are, inspiring me to want to do good things for the world, just like she did for so many innocent animal lives. A truly heart breaking/heart warming book

Summary: it was great
Review: we need more funding for gorillas in Africa to keep their species alive and well to learn more about them since they are the only animals that are closest to our species
