5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!!!, February 2, 2001

By	Melissa D. Height "lyssaq" (Palmyra, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Anyone who loves animals MUST read this book and those who aren't fond of animals...this book will change your way of thinking. Each rescue the liberators performed made me hold my breath in anticipation. I cried one minute and the next minute I cheered for every liberation. I read this book in only two days...unable to put it down. I have always loved animals, but this book will make you realize that animals aren't just cute and fluffy, but they are individuals who equally deserve a chance at survival. They feel pain, sadness and happiness just as any human does. I would recommend this book to anyone who is eager to learn more about animal rights!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stop Ignoring the Brutal Truth ..., June 15, 2003

By	Devin R. Murdock "dr murdock" (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This type of literature makes most people uncomfortable. As you sit reading on your leather couch with a mouthful of dead animal flesh it is hard to not feel some remorse. What the people of this world do in the name of gourmet dining and fashion is revolting. What they do in the name of science is nothing less then sadistic and barbaric. Would the people that call ALF "criminals" say the same thing about the people who broke the law in the old south to help slaves escape? This book may not contain the most concise writing on the subject - (Try Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation") - but it does bring to light some important information about a group of modern day heroes and the cause they support.

To the people who posted reviews of this book that made fun of the cause itself or whined about saving lives I dare them to post their email address next time they want to show the world what total morons they really are.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've ever read!!, October 22, 2002

By	Carolynn C. Ross (Frewsburg, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This book is the most exciting animal rights book ever! Most books are just facts and information, this is a true story of the most wonderful people ever created! They show what lengths one should go to for something they believe in! If you are interested in animals or just a good read, read this book! I could read it over and over and still be surprized and dazzled!
