Industry Reviews "There is a revelation on almost every page, and Ms. Grandin's prose...is ungainly in the best possible way: blunt, sweet, off-kilter and often quite funny." (01/20/2009)
"ANIMALS MAKE US HUMAN...is full of small fascinating facts..., but the epiphanies and insights come in much larger sizes too." (02/15/2009)
"[Grandin] draws on her hard-won insights into her own atypical emotional responses to try to understand how animals experience the world. She emphasizes the importance of transcending our emotional assumptions so that we can perhaps see things from an animal's perspective." (03/02/2009)
