Über diesen Titel

Laurence Gonzales’s electrifying adventure opens in the jungles of the Congo. Jenny Lowe, a primatologist studying chimpanzees - the bonobos - is running for her life. A civil war has exploded and Jenny is trapped in its crosshairs....

She runs to the camp of a fellow primatologist. The rebels have already been there. Everyone is dead except a young girl, the daughter of Jenny’s brutally murdered fellow scientist - and competitor.

Jenny and the child flee, Jenny grabbing the notebooks of the primatologist who’s been killed. She brings the girl to Chicago to await the discovery of her relatives. The girl is 15 and lovely - her name is Lucy.

Realizing that the child has no living relatives, Jenny begins to care for her as her own. When she reads the notebooks written by Lucy’s father, she discovers that the adorable, lovely, magical Lucy is the result of an experiment: she is part human, part ape - a hybrid human being....

Laurence Gonzales’s novel grabs you from its opening and you stay with it, mesmerized by the shy but fierce, wonderfully winning Lucy.

Kritikerstimmen

“Masterful. . . utterly memorable.” ( Kirkus)
“A fast-paced Crichtonesque thriller. . .” ( Entertainment Weekly)
"An imaginative leap in a nail-biting story....Gonzales raises profound questions about identity, family, animal and human rights, and genetic engineering without compromising the ever-escalating suspense. Lucy is irresistible, her predicament wrenching, and Gonzales’ imaginative, sweet-natured, hard-charging, and deeply inquisitive thriller will be a catalyst for serious thought and debate." ( Booklist)

very interesting story about a hybrid human, the kindness of some people and the stupidity of most humans. it is well displayed that most people are selfish and do not accept people who dont fit their own 'world' - which is the sad reality. of course the topic of a human hybrid is very controversial. i liked the story, it was touching and thrilling.
the performance of abby craden was as usual, very good and kim mai guest also did a good job. i dont understand why the second narrator was needed because she only has about 15 minutes and craden narrated the same character but its not a bad thing.

interesting
