Frustrating in its lack of detail because the ideas expressed seemed either incredibly interesting or misguided. But one was left to wonder whether one was interpreting them correctly because everything was only touched on.
I think Grandin has a habit of extending her own experience too far onto other people and beings who might not agree with the leaps she makes. But she's an engaging writer and there's lots of food for thought here.
My book club really enjoyed Temple's perspective on animal behavior. It helped me understand some of my cats' strange behaviors too.
Really enjoyed this book, fascinating take on animal behavior and selective breeding consequences and even some tips on how to interact with pets. Well written, and Grandin gives insight on how her autism influenced her ability to understand animals (and humans) differently.
A really cool book connecting autism with animal behavior. The author offers amazing insight since she's been studying animals for decades and she herself is autistic.
Fascinating. I enjoyed Grandin's unique perspective and mode of expression.
Fascinating book about the similarities between autism and the ways animals' brains function, written by an autistic scientist. Dr. Grandin's story is candid and her observations are insightful. The animal studies described in the book underscore the author's kinship with animals and her lifelong dedication to improving their welfare. Her perspective is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended.

Good, but Animal make us Human is fantastic. Every person who has an opinion for or against factory farming, pet ownership, animal training, animal captivity should read both these books.
Dr. Grandin without emotion, demystifies animal behaviors, what is required to be good stewards of
all livestock. She tackles the importance of meat production, the horse slaughter issue (why it should be
legal in Animals Make us Human), mistakes we've made as producers. She addresses the mistakes
that we make as pet owners, trying to give our pets "better" lives and addresses what we do right and well.
These are non-fiction and read much easier as audio books. They present like lectures.
