I read the first edition of this many years ago but never pasted my review on here. I'm one of those people who has agreed with Hribal's opinions on animal revolt long before this book came out. So, perhaps I am a bit partial. But, this is the first work of nonfiction in a while that I have been excited to pick up. It's well written, flows really well, and the material inside it is fascinating. It's sure to excite and educate even the most well read on animal liberation issues and is sure to make anyone (pro-animal lib or not) think very hard about their own perceptions of other animals. I definitely recommend that everyone read it and I think it can be interesting and exciting for people of all interests and backgrounds- not just animal liberationists or anti-authoritarians.

My main criticism is that I wish it was longer. It's only about 160 short pages and it feels a little unfinished. I would have liked to hear about more species.
