Spoiler! There are a LOT of ridiculously cute (unless you have no Soul, and, well, then, it won't be so cute) photos of sloths, taken by the author, NCSU grad (go WolfPack!) Sam Trull! With the pages of the book, we are presented with recollections, along with accompanying photos, from Sam's work at the Sloth Institute Costa Rica, which she co-founded. I smiled (A LOT), and even teared up at the end, but all in all, it was money well spent! If my wife and I ever hit the lottery, we have both agreed upon donating to the Institute. Thank you, Sam, for sharing your stories with us!

** I would have finished it sooner, but I was trying to ration it, to make it last longer.

If you live in America post-2016 (#notmypresident), there is a more fair amount of hate, deceit, and a lack of caring. It's a culture driven by "What's in it for me?" and "What can I buy next?". Cellphones, whether Android or iOs, are like augmentation of our hand, taking all our focus, leaving us mentally glued to them. a book like this couldn't have come out at a better time!

Sure, I am biased, as I have a great love/appreciation of sloths. Beyond the sloth aspect, the book has a great amount of Life Advice that everyone should heed. One of the recommendations of McCartney on how to "live the sloth life" is recommending putting down our cellphones, stopping with the need for "selfies", and just get out there and enjoy Life for all that it is. Best.advice.EVER!

Now, enough with the review already, just get out there and read it! Your Life will so much better!
