Review
'You would be mistaken to think that this is just another natural history book. Lawrence Anthony's experiences with a herd of elephants that visit his nature reserve is told with humour, and sometimes sadness, as he tries to keep the herd safe.' --The Independent on Sunday
'From page one of The Elephant Whisperer by South African conversationalist Lawrence Anthony, I was smitten...It's a roller coaster ride of emotions, from hysterical to sad, and so full of great characters, both human and animal...the book is one of my most treasured possessions' --Cosmopolitan

The Elephant Whisperer: Learning About Life, Loyalty and Freedom From a Remarkable Herd of Elephants
I have read many, many books in my time but none as good as this one. I can't say how often I realised that I was holding my breath waiting for the outcome of certain events. At times the book made me laugh out loud and also brought a tear to my eye. If you are a lover of Elephants this is a must read but also the people involved in the Reserve are rather nice and it's interesting to read how events affect them.
The herd of Elephants are fantastic but I also learned about other African Wildlife which I didn't know much about but found equally as interesting.
I couldn't put the book down but didn't want to get to the end either. I will definitely read it again and am hoping for an update with another book soon! I will miss my daily visits with Nana and her wonderful family.

At times this book had me sobbing my heart out and then I would be laughing and then crying again. It was a bit of a rollercoaster!
This book is well written, informative and contains some really heartwarming tales. Lawrence Anthony's experience with his herd of "troublesome elephants" is truly amazing an inspirational.
I'm recommending this book to everyone - so please buy it!

This is an amazing book - not normally the sort of book I would pick up but once you do you cannot put it down. It is so heartwarming to read about so many people who devote their lives to the care and conservation of animals. A fabulous read.

Good Luck with the Reserve but not a book for me
I do not understand why the book has so many 5 star reviews. I bought this on the back of those reviews so I am mildly frustrated. Read more
