I've had that happen a couple of times, too, and it is always a disappointment that the story can't go on because I think it's the longterm relationship that a reader develops with characters that makes reading series so much fun.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-71424919867643097532021-05-13T13:31:04.433-07:002021-05-13T13:31:04.433-07:00Some of these character types I'm so over that...Some of these character types I'm so over that, when I find one of them in a book, regardless the author, I just want to put it down and move on to the next book.

I don't know if I ever told you this, but I have a language/linguistics background, so I learned a lot about Koko's history. This story's premise appealed to me just on that. But it does sound as if the rest of the story wasn't as appealing. I think I'd worry too much about Neena, too. And I know exactly what you mean about character types that you are just. over.

I realized I didn't want to read about that.<br />I saw the video about a female gorilla trying to cuddle a human baby through a transparent barrier wall, and then bringing her own baby to show the human mother. She held onto her baby for two months and would not let another gorilla near it.<br />When I see this, I realize how close we humans are to our primate relatives. Maternal love by primates is very similar to that of humans.<br />I saw a video of a mama chimp biting a paw (hand?) of a chimp youngster who had hurt her baby. She was not having it! Then other chip youngsters gathered around the chimp perpetrator to sympathize with him because his paw (hand) hurt from the bite.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.com
