Find out what animals think of us

Buffalo Jake is a bitter-sweet story that is nothing like Animal Farm. Animal Farm makes you hate people when you see animals behave LIKE us. Buffalo Jake makes you like animals for the ways they are DIFFERENT from us. As for people, seems that the only thing that puts us ahead, really, is language. The book imagines a world, where all living creatures can talk to each other and take care of the world together. When one arrogant species thinks itself omnipotent and above the rest, it just make no sense! Are we about to learn a lesson?

Panda & Buffalo Wisdom

Fantastic book - the discovery of the paw print language, the patience, intelligence and wisdom of the pandas, the ancient story of survival 80,000 years ago, the incredible journey of Jake. Incredibly real characters, from the wolf Daniel to the villian "Real". The partnership between the great Buffalo Jake and panda Kim Ha moved me to tears. I had a hard time remembering that this is fiction....or is it??!!

Destined to be a classic

This is amazing first novel by Joe Trojan. Just a darn good book and hard to put down. If your looking for a good read, this is it.

Great Lessons For Our Time

A wonderful original story that entertains, educates and enlightens all at the same time. Rich with noble themes of justice, self-sacrifice and respect for the natural order. While I found the comparison to "Animal Farm" interesting, I think it is inapposite. Buffalo Jake is far more interesting and emotionally uplifting than "Animal Farm," since Trojan's book teaches us that even the worst (and most incorrigible of species) can learn from the best, while Orwell in AF oppositely teaches us to expect the worst from even the best.In any event, a "Real" (check out the main villain!) wake up call to any would-be Chakeedas to re-think their disruptive behavior and disregard for the many other diverse and precious creatures co-habiting this planet.

Amazingly touching!

This book, in the spirit of Animal Farm as well as Choronicles of Narnia speaks of good versus evil in terms of an easy to understand allegory. Joe Trojan is a great writer able to weave intricate scenes, as well as poingnant materials witout losing the momentum of the story as a whole. Buffalo Jake and the Last Animal Crusade, is a brilliant book; one which made me think and ask myself if I myself have been behaving like a chakeeda.
