I adore Douglas Adams completely. From the many varied versions of his Hitchhiker series to Dirk Gentley and the Doctor, I have read, re read and re re read and always will again. The man was a master storyteller and I only wish there was more to read. Last Chance to See is no different and deserves a 5-star rating. Alas, there are no pictures in this iBook. As I was reading on a device it was little work to highlight and search the web for pictures of the animals and places (even found a pic of Arab w/kakapo). However for the price it is deeply disappointing not to see the material that would be included in a hard copy.

First off, I love this book. I own the physical book and have read it several times. The writing is wonderful--as you no doubt expect, if you've read Douglas Adams before. But be warned: none of the beautiful pictures from the book were included in the version. Very frustrating. 5 stars for the writing, 0 for the laziness of the publisher. The average would be 2.5 stars. I ought to round down because no mention is made, and I think that's deceitful. But it's Adams. 3 stars. Everyone should read this book. But until they put the pictures back in, this isn't the form in which to read it.
