Book Reviews of Meerkat Manor
Book Review: Excellent Book for All Who Love Meerkat Manor and Flower
Summary: 5 Stars
This was truly an excellent book about these incredible little animals. It covers the entire life of Flower, from her birth to her tragic death. It also mixes in general information about meerkat society in more detail than the TV show can possibly cover. The author writes in a manner that is almost detached, and very unemotional. While he does care deeply for these animals, he doesn't try to romanticize their lives and presents them as they really are.
I was especially interested in reading this book to learn the truth of Flower's death. I was very disturbed when I heard that the show was a set-up and the events were skewed by editing. This book sheds light on what really happened to her. Her death is tragic enough; I don't understand why the show would give us such blatantly false information. For those of you who don't know the real events surrounding Flower's death, I won't spoil the ending for you. Read this book for answers.
Book Review: A Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
Meerkat Manor: Flower of the Kalahari is a must have for any fan of Meerkat Manor, Meerkats or animals and their behavior. For the fan of MM, it is great to finally get to hear about the early years of Flower and how she became the ultimate dominate of the Whiskers as well as learning the true family connections and relationships among some of the other meerkats we have all come to know and love.
For the animal lover, this is a marvelous look into the intriguing world of the meerkat with its altruistic behavior and daily fight for life in the harsh Kalahari Desert. This book has it's ups and downs. It can put a smile on your face for sure, but can also bring a tear to your eye. But like the show, it is well worth the ride!

Great book not only as a memorial to Flower, but also as an educational tool regarding Life in the Kalahari for all creatures that do their very best to survive the harsh but mesmerizingly seductive Kalahari. The book is like a family story for the Meerkats, especially Flower's family. It starts from when her mother gave birth to her and tells of Flower's heroic tragic death. This book is a keeper.Book Review: A great and informative look behind the TV show
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me a while to get this book, having to buy it from one of the secondary dealers on Amazon, but it was worth it. I enjoyed finding the extra background info about Flower and her family. The book goes so much deeper than the TV show does. I've checked other websites and none of them even have a listing for this book so if you want it, better snatch it up now!
