"This is an unusual novel. A soul that moves between animals and humans leaps and bounds across the screen, delivering a powerful aesthetic impact.The visuals are unmistakably Hollywood style, but as the author herself says, it's 'a French film that flows along with the protagonist's consciousness.' In The Good Son , author Jeong You-jeong dragged us into the dark depths of the human psyche, and in Bonobo , she pushes us beyond the boundaries of our species altogether. Breathtaking intensity awaits you." -- Choi Jae-cheon (Professor of Eco-Science at Ewha Womans University, President of the Biodiversity Foundation) "This time, it's a warm, gentle, and loving Jeong You-jeong. It's an amazing transformation. It's touching, profound, and poignant.

However, everyone who knows Jeong You-jeong not only through her works but also as a person will strongly agree that this transformation is not a sudden deviation, but rather Jeong You-jeong's hidden charm. She tackles a highly intellectual theme--the birth of a complete hominoid, a perfect fusion of animal and human--with profoundly emotional language. With a smiling face, yet eyes brimming with tears." -- Jung Yeo-ul (Literary Critic).
