How to Tell Your Friends From the Apes

Author: Will Cuppy

Summary: A basic Zoology side read. Cuppy devotes each 2 page chapter to a different animal and gives his description and opinion about each one. His descriptions are witty and sarcastic and you might be left wondering if you should be taking them with a grain of salt. A couple of favorite quotes: From the chapter about Love Birds: "The Love Bird is one hundred percent faithful to his mate that is locked in the same cage."

And from the chapter about The Tiger: "Persons who raise Tiger cubs in their homes are sometimes known as missing persons."

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to anyone who has an innate love of zoology. I know many people who would probably be bored by someone's satirical ramblings about mammals and birds. I find it a relaxing before bed read.
