"TPWSTTM" was my catalyst for going Vegan from vegetarian--extremely important. This book, however, was too wishy-washy about making statements that Animals DO have emotions. Duh. ( ) I found this book tough to get into. While the anecdotal evidence the author gives to make his point was interesting to read - and probably my favorite part of the book - I found that I often struggled to get through each chapter, perhaps due to the density of the content. It should be noted that science and philosophy are not my strong points and I would still recommend this book to anyone interested in animal rights. no reviews | add a review
