Summary: Last Chance To See
Review: Last Chance To See was a very interesting book to read. At first I was really struggling to get involved because I didn't know alot about endangered species and animals but as I continued reading the book I found myself more interested. Douglas Adams was a funny guy who kept the book somewhat interesting. This book helped me understand more about engangered species and animals that I didnt even know existed like for example the Komodo Dragon. Their saliva alone can kill a man which was very suprising to me. I had never heard of such a creature living in this world today. You can also learn about how they live and eat which is really important to recognize considering that there is small percentage of some of the animlas left. It also helps by giving you pictures to relate to while reading the story. I would definatly recommend this book to people that were interested in wildlife because it gives great descriptions and detail. I would also recommend this to people that aren't really educated about animals because you can learn how important they are and it could possibly change your mind on how you view them, like it did mine.

Summary: Sorry, But This Book Should Be Extinct
Review: Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine are guys who guide you through unfamiliar territories of endangered animals in the wild. To name a few they search for the White Rhino, Komodo Dragon, and Silverback Mountain Gorilla, both guys gave me a humorous vibe but I just wasn't felling their story it was to bland and boring,boring,Boring!It was nice getting to know about the kakapo a bird that was crazy for sex I would had never known such a bird species existed. Other than that I did not care for the mood of the story it was written sarcastically with no excitement. No point to the book just because we common people will never see an animal in the wild doesnt mean we dont care about nature

Summary: The Endless Search
Review: Too many endangered animals not enough time, more like too much to read and not enough time, thanks Scott. This book was informing but that's about it. I don't usually like to read about two men traveling the globe together looking for animals but never seeming to find them. After reading this book I am informed now of what is happening to the Komodo Dragons, the Kakapos, the White Rhinos from Zaire, and the Yangtze River Dolphins but I still feel the same. Adams, one of the men traveling, has a "unique" sense of humor that he throws at you every once in a while to keep you reading. I did not hate it but I won't read it again. If you have a lot of time on your hands and don't care what you read then this is the book for you.

Summary: FORGOTTEN ENDANGERED SPIECES
Review: To tell you the truth at the begining I really didn't like reading this book, but as I started reading it more I got more interested.
At the begining of the first pages is really boring but as you get almost to the end of the story you start enjoing it. This book talks about how a lot of unkown endangered animals are at risk of being lost from the future. And if you really like reading about endangered spieces I recomend you to read this book because it gives you details on how humans have caused this to happend.

Summary: Last Chance To See
Review: Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine created an inspirational team of adventure seekers. Their approach towards finding and examining endangered animals from around the world and Their visual approach to the need to understand and their concerns have brought me to the realization of the needed changes that must be done in order for the exsistance of these animals to continue. The pictures and eventful dramas throughout their journeys was entertaining and heart warming. If you are a lover of the enviroment, animals and life, then this book is a must to read.

It gives the reader an opportunity to see endangered animals and a glimpse into the world of zoology.Adam Douglas guides you through the problems that threaten the animals that he sees on his journey. Adam goes to many bizarre places in search for these endangered animals. While on his journey he also learns the way of how diiferent cultures live compare to ours.

There is good detail on animal behavior that finds you there with these animals. Towards the end of the book you find yourself wanting to help save these animals. This is a good book for those who enjoy traveling and love animals.

Summary: Let the monkey's do it!
Review: First I will start of saying a few nice things because I want to be fair to the writer. The adventure that the writer went through was amazing! He was very humorous at times and another good thing is that he was well spoken and vivid in his expression. At times this was tedious, which I will explain more in depth later in this review. At this point in our history, especially, our consumption based lifestyles obviously have ancillary consequences to our global circle of life.
I feel that the causes expressed in the book are valid and deserve human thought and interest, however, the lectured manner that the author speaks in order to solicit our understanding is thinly veiled and peppered with his obvious slant and bias.
When the author expresses alternative view points to his own it appears to be done simply for the fact that he's trying to express a sense of awareness and understanding of other points of view. These token tips of the hat, do not embrace alternative points of view with any sincere examination.
In conclusion, as much as I love the subject of endangered species, this book was not the greatest for reading....it should have been turned into a 30 minute educational video. While the message was good, the depth of explanation was unnecessary and at times the colorful imagery seem to lose it's initial message.

Summary: Going! Going, Gone?
Review: Last Chance To See, another wonderful display of Douglas Adams's depiction of dry humor and dark truth. Adams, zoologist Mark Carwardine, and a BBC reporter, travel to the outposts of the world searching for signs of life that are rare, exotic and endangered beings.
I would have liked more photographs of animals and the environments Douglas describes. His superior descriptions and wordpainting placed me at his shoulder, but I love photos.
I highly recommend this book to any soul interested in the survival of the world. After reading Last Chance to See, I became aware of the sad fact of how many florna and fauna we lose due to our negligence of our place. Very enlightening, Thanks Sutherland for the assignment.

Summary: A Great Description of Endangered Animals
Review: Last Chance to see is a great book. I don't like to read much and this book seemed kind of boring to me but once I got further into the book it was very good. Douglas Adams describes with great detail the exotic locations in which he is at that he makes me feel like I'm right there with him. I liked the way he writes how difficult it is of a journey to get from place to place just to see rare animals. Throughout the book he gives great information about certain animals that I didn't know about. The exotic and endangered animals in this book are described in such a way by Adams that I feel like doing something about them. I would recomend this book to anyone who is unaware of how close we are to killing out important animals.

Summary: Life mimics fiction
Review: Absolutely fabulous. Adams way with words will make you care about plants and animals that you probably have never heard about. It's also refreshing to know that even someone as well known as Douglas Adams can still have the same rotten luck as the rest of us. Every twist and turn in his journey helps the reader to understand the mind of the author (did he base Arthur Dent after himself?) and holds your attention, even if you don't care about conservation. I recommend this book highly. My wife (who is not an Adams fan, nor a conservationist) has also enjoyed the book immensely.
