2.0 out of 5 stars "He says" too much., February 17, 2000

This review is from: Leopard Tortoise Guide, She Says; He Says (Tortoises of the World, Volume 8) (Paperback)

I own two leopard tortoises, and I ordered the book because there isn't much literature out there. But the amount of information in this expensive book did not justify the price. There is far too much useless trivia, like the section on the climatic changes in Africa through the past few aeons, the parallel evolution of star tortoises, or living with tortoises and dogs. Both authors have written wonderful books, but this is not one of them. One particularly annoying thing: The amount of time R Paull spends talking about insignificant filler leaves his co-author next to no room in the book. Palika's knowledge and authority deserved more of a forum.
