After reading book #2, I thought it was appropriate to read book one. Kind of wish I hadn't. I now know what these books are all about. This is definitely one of the most graphically violent action novels I've read. Is there really a reason to give all the gory details? I know I'm probably not the author's target audience so he shouldn't lose any sleep from losing me as a reader. Again, if Tom Cruise is chosen to play Jack Reacher, idiocy abounds in Hollywood. No way.
This book is made up completely of letters written by Jane Goodall to family, friends and colleagues, starting in1942, when she was seven years old, and ending in 1966. I recently read In The Shadow of Man, and many incidents from that book are recounted in Jane's letters, though from a slightly different perspective, as that book was the result of her research, and this one is her own bubbly personality relating incidents to her family and friends. For the most part this was a fascinating read, though I was a bit bored by the early years, until Jane had grown up and was off working and eagerly getting ready for adventure. She seems like she would have been a very fun person to know.
