'If you love animals like I do, it's a must read.' -- Ellen DeGeneres, host of the Ellen Show 'had me instantly enraptured' -- Dallas Morning News 'Gruen's astute, wildly entertaining tale of interspecies connection is a novel of verve and conscience - the fate of the bonobos is a brilliantly satirical surprise.' -- Booklist (starred review) 'It is a page-turner written with flair, imagination and a sharp sense of irony.' -- Globe and Mail 'Very, very few novels can change the way you look at the world around you. This one does.' -- Robert Goolrick, author of A Reliable Wife 'Consider reality TV, meth labs, over-the-top animal-rights activists, Botox, tabloids and Internet diatribes, and you, too, might come to the conclusion: People should be more like animals. Sara Gruen's entertaining, enlightening new novel will certainly leave you thinking so.' -- Miami Herald 'Has the dramatic tension of a crime thriller... Twists and turns, lies, and treachery abound in this funny, clever, and perceptive story.' -- Library Journal (starred review) 'Ape House is difficult to put down, filled as it is with genuine hilarity and heartbreak.' -- Toronto Star 'The biggest accomplishment of Ape House is that it brings bonobos to life. The writing is effortless, as though Gruen sat down and wrote the book in one breezy afternoon.' -- Vanessa Woods, New Scentist 'Gruen delivers a tale that's full of heart, hope, and compelling questions about who we really are.' -- Redbook 'Propulsive... Gruen writes with the commercial breathlessness of a cozier Dan Brown.' -- Entertainment Weekly 'had me instantly enraptured' -- Dallas Morning News 'Gruen's astute, wildly entertaining tale of interspecies connection is a novel of verve and conscience - the fate of the bonobos is a brilliantly satirical surprise.' -- Booklist (starred review) 'Has the dramatic tension of a crime thriller... Twists and turns, lies, and treachery abound in this funny, clever, and perceptive story.' -- Library Journal
