Joyce Poole

I think this book is not well written. Too many irrelevant details, such as using the intricate elephant-naming code throughout the narrative, and too much gloss over potentially interesting things, such as her childhood in Africa. In my opinion people didn't learn how to write exciting and absorbing non-fiction until the 2000s, and this book helps prove the point. It's a shame because the author's story seems like it could actually be quite interesting.
