A review by a_robin_reads
Voices for Animal Liberation: Inspirational Accounts by Animal Rights Activists by Ingrid Newkirk, Brittany Michelson
Did not finish book.
DNF
This was totally different then what I hoped/expected. It was more like a full on "I did all this and I'm great" story, which I really didn't like. I thought it would more be stories about animals and not about the person saving the animals and saying how great they did. In the first story I would have loved to hear more about the rescued chicken and in the second about the monkey who was chained to a windowsill. How they rescued these animals and how there life turned out. I'm not interested about the humans really.
Review first published on my blog:
I tried to read Voices for animal liberation by a couple of authors. I got this from Netgalley. I read the first two stories in this book. And boy didn't I like them. I thought this book would be like an honor to amazing animals they rescued, the story about these animals and maybe why these people chose to be animal rescuers. I was wrong. This book is basically a human worship book. This people tell the story of what they did in rescuing animals. For example: I founded the organisation blah blah blah and I got an award for my article blah blah blah. It just wasn't what I expected and therefore gave up on it.
