We Bought a Zoo - Benjamin Mee


We Bought a Zoo - Benjamin Mee (2008)

Sitting in the South of France with his wife and children, Benjamin Mee was sent a brochure by his sister advertising a run down zoo that was for sale in Dartmouth, Uk. So with his family on board, the Mee family bid for the zoo and animals.

Of course, being a journalist, it became an article, a tv series and a book. In the midst of trying to bring the zoo up to being able to take in its first paying visitors, Benjamin has to deal with his wife who had been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

I think it deserves a 3/5, for a solid read.
