Woman in the Mist

 

 

  I would recommend this book if you enjoy animals. Obviously if you do not enjoy animals or reading about them then you would not really like this book. I think that it was cool to be able to see what she went through when she was in Africa and how she made a difference. Over the years of her being in Africa I believe she learned a lot and became very adept in her studies. She learned a lot of new stuff about the animals she loved and was able to teach a lot of stuff to other people. I was astounded with some of the things she came in counter with and thought it was crazy how calmly she fixed them.

      I think that this book definitely went in depth and explained her journey well without making it too hard to follow. Throughout the book there were definitely some points that were very sad and hard to read through. Over these parts I just pushed through and soon they started to talk about something different. For this book I would rate it 3.5 stars out of 5. I think that it was a very good book but they needed to explain places better and there were a few parts that were sad. I would recommend this to someone that wants to work with animals or already is working with animals. I think that it is cool that she was able to make a difference in our world and really impact the animals that she loved.

Vocab

In my book the vocab isn't that hard. The words they use aren't too difficult I can figure them out by context clues and if I can't then I just look them up. Throughout the novel they do like to use a lot of locations and cities and a lot of the cities in the United States I know about where they are because they are major cities, but they also like to use cities in Africa and i have no clue where they are or even remotely where they are locates. It would help if they could put something at the bottom of the page or a caption next to the cities so you can follow where she is traveling better. This is a minor setback though because it is not the most important part of the book to know where they are as long as you know if they are in Africa or America.

This is a general map of the place that she went to (Rwanda) but it doesn't have the actual route that she traveled.

 

In the book she talks about how pretty it is especial at night and how all of the clouds clear and you can see the stars and off to the side there is the volcano. She explains that the animals will travel up and down the valley, so I am assuming that Rwanda is pretty hilly. Using the map I gave above it is still hard to tell where about she might have been because it talks about how she can see the volcano but she also says that there are a lot of trees and undergrowth. So it also seems that she might be around the Forest down in the south of Rwanda.
