Sara Gruen once again makes connections between animals and humans in the her second novel, Ape House. An educational read about bonobo apes living in a research lab in Kansas City. Adept in using American Sign Language the apes are able to express their thoughts, wishes and interact with their human keepers. When the laboratory is the target of a violent explosion, apparently by animal activist, the apes escape only to find themselves exploited in a reality-TV obsessed culture.
