 It is hard to do this book justice.Anyone who enjoys the humor of Douglas Adams' novels will laugh almost as often through "Last Chance to See." Yet there is so much more. Adams recounts true traveling experiences and describes human characters in a way that brings cultures and continents alive better than a National Geographic Special. His descriptions of the sought-after endangered animals are equally compelling, biologically accurate without being overly elaborate or dry. Remember, this is Douglas Adams, you WILL laugh. Adams' discussions are thought-provoking and profoundly insightful, revealing much about the author while encouraging the reader to reflect on his/her own position--philosophical and natural. Anyone who has heard of Douglas Adams or Komodo dragons will love this book. And grow through reading it.

The book Last Chance to See was a pretty good book. I really don't like reading but it was an ok book. I would not read it again because i hate to read. But if u are looking for a good book about endangerd aniamls then this is the one for you.
Last Chance to See was a book about a group of people going around the world and taking pictures of endangered or nearly extinct animals. I thought this book was an okay read. I did not love it, but I read it anyway. It was fascinating to find out about all the endangered animals out there in the world. Some of the animals mentioned in this book I never even heard of before. I enjoyed the pictures also because I was then able to put a face to a name with the animals mentioned in the book. I did not like some of the parts of the book, because they traveled so much that I often was confused while reading it. The strange spelling of the words in the book, and the humor sometimes through me off. In the end I feel this book was written for a good cause to let people know about all the animals out theree that are near extinction.
