• One of the best anthropology books I've ever read.
  This is one of my favorite books, and is most definitely one of the best anthropology books I've ever had the pleasure to read. It seems like Turnbull actually cared about the people he was living with, and tried to understand things from their perspective, rather than trying to understand everything through a western scientific mental filter ... read it!

• The Forest People
  I am not completely finished reading the book. However, so far, I have found it entertaining and educational. It is amazing to me how the pygmies can exist in the forest with virtually none of what we would view as essentials. A very simple way of life.

• Enjoyable Reading
  I love this book, it is well written, informative and interesting;
  The story of the Molimo gave me great joy!

• Excellent
  This beautiful anthropoligical work told in a srory is extrenmle fascinating.THE FOREST PEOPLE echoes such works as USURPER AND OTHER STORIE, and SAN PEOPLE. I was completely captivated by this book, which is why I read it four times this winter. It is taking me a step forward in coming to terms with life's different perspectives.
