Book Reviews of A Zoo in My Luggage
Book Review: Very funny, not PC...
Summary: 3 Stars
We love the Corfu books by Gerald Durrel and hoped this was more of the same. It is similar but not quite the same. Still, some very funny moments. He is rather old fashioned with his descriptions of local residents.... that wouldn't fly today.
Summary of A Zoo in My Luggage
Fans of Gerald Durrell's timeless classic My Family and Other Animals will love this hilarious tale, which finds him as an adult still charmed by his beloved animals. A Zoo in My Luggage begins with an account of Durrell's third trip to the British Cameroons in West Africa, during which he and his wife capture animals to start their own zoo. Returning to England with a few additions to their family-Cholmondeley the chimpanzee, Bug-eye the bush baby, and others-they have nowhere to put them as they haven't yet secured a place for their zoo. Durrell's account of how he manages his menagerie in all sorts of places throughout England while finding a permanent home for the animals provides as much adventure as capturing them. For animal lovers of all ages, A Zoo in My Luggage is the romping true story of the boy who grew up to make a Noah's Ark of his own.Memoirs Books
