Review of 'Animals Strike Curious Poses' on Goodreads

3 stars

Almost overly smart, like mashups of closely researched wikipedia entries between notorious animals and the humans looking at them. A few are beautiful juxtapositions and commentaries, and the collection has a clear theme if varying style.
