Review:

You think that from the title it would be about the person itself, an Autobiography of Temple Grandin. But it was not, the first 7 chapters of the book was about Temple Grandin’s life, which is not a lot. There was 59 pages of Temple Grandin’s Life out of 212 pages. The rest of this book covered other topics, like info related to the Slaughter Houses, Autism, Therapy Animals, and other people's lives. This is not what I was expecting from this book, I was expecting to read about Temple Grandin, not the other things.

The way the Author discussed Temple Grandin’s life seemed condensed, and it seemed like the author's life of having a little sister with autism dispersed throughout the book. I would have loved to see more about Temple Grandin’s current life, instead of things that were like years ago in 1970.

It seems like this book also focused on things going on in Kansas. If you know nothing about Temple Grandin, and Autism, then you should read this book. However, if you would like to read more about Temple Grandin’s life, then I would suggest reading books written by Temple Grandin or her mother.

This book was great!!! I got to learn extra info about everything, even though that is not what I hoped. If you do not know anything about Temple Grandin, this is a place to start.
