Every once in awhile, I come across an extremely powerful book that actually transforms me - and “Waterfall Dance” by Andrew Quinn is just such a book. Both the cover art and the summary given on “Waterfall Dance” intrigued me from the very moment I lay eyes upon it. I was so excited to finally get to read this book, and I admit, Andrew Quinn’s novel did not disappoint me in the least.

With unexpected, and delightful, twists and turns, “Waterfall Dance” tells the story of a criminal court case that quickly grabs media attention and astounds the world. During the trial of Emily, an animal activist, her lawyer, Will, manages to obtain a first in legal courts - allowing an ape to testify! Sparks, the ape, is an absolutely fabulous character, and through a rather unique invention Sparks is able to express his thoughts in human language- and does so in a court of law.

Throughout this novel, one discovers moments you hadn’t expected, and characters to delight you. Once I read the first page - I was hooked!!! I laughed, I cried and read with fixed attention.

“Waterfall Dance” is without doubt, one of the BEST books I have ever read. Andrew Quinn’s book is full of compassion and touched me deeply. Never again will I pick up a cosmetic, without first considering how it came to be. Never again will I just ‘see’ an animal, but will forever wonder about the deeper level of their existence. Do they feel as we do? After all, we already know the compassion of elephants to a fallen loved one. Can the other species really be so different?

Bravo, Andrew Quinn, “Waterfall Dance” is a fabulous read - and one I will be sure to rant about to everyone I know!!!

I received this book for free from Goodreads, 1st Reads to review. I am a member of goodreads, librarything, book divas, black velvet seductions and the penguin book club.
