### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Extraordinarily written, and bursting with incredible information
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2021*

I absolutely adored "Sentient" and couldn't put it down. The myriad of details, extraordinary facts and intricate information had me hooked from the beginning. The creatures all extraordinary, and a focus of detail on such positive links between the animal kingdom and our own senses and abilities was a much needed uplift in the midst of a time with gloomy news on a global and environmental stage.I applaud Jackie, her knowledge is second to none, and she writes with a lightness of touch which is beguiling and calmly didactic at the same time. Entrancing.

    Mostly Good

We got the audio book which wonderfully narrated and the book, for the most part, is well researched. There is a chapter which touches briefly on Autism that I feel does a massive disservice to those who are autistic and the author could have better researched this if they felt the need to include it in the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    If You are Fascinated by Animals, You Will Love this Original and Expert Book!
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2021*

I'm a real fan of the 'popular zoology' genre, and I usually have one of these on the go.  'Other Minds' is a recent highlight, and 'Beyond Words:  How animals think and feel'.  'Death at Seaworld' was a particular favourite of mine due to the fascinating insights into orca natural habits.  And so it was that I picked up 'Sentient'...I'm not yet finished, but I felt I had to write something down here to record how much I am enjoying this excellent book.  I imagine the trick with making zoology writing accessible is to somehow balance observation of our human experience of the animals, and our insights into their lives, with the scientific exploration that ultimately provides the meat in the sandwich.  Jackie Higgins is the magician who has fully mastered this trick, and can perform it again and again without the audience ever figuring it out.We start with the crowd-pleasing mantish shrimp, the serial-monogamist hero of a hundred thousand youtube videos, fighting it out on those sub-aquatic mean streets to bring home food for his oversized gf.  But what's that?  The shrimp is not just a tough guy, he also sees in colours that are unimaginable to the human mind.  The author expands in detail on why we can assume that this thinking man's crustacean, armed with a paintbrush, would have a sensibility for colour that would crush Turner or Monet.I recommend this book and hope you will enjoy it as much as I am.
