This is a new book by the author of Water for Elephants. I haven't read that one yet, but it's being made into a movie with Robert Pattinson now. This book is about six bonobo apes who are "liberated" from their cushy life at a research center. They end up on a reality TV show run by a sleazy television mogul.
The book follows their former keeper (who was terribly injured during their escape/kidnapping) as she tries to find them and get them away from their new public life. She's helped by a newspaper reporter who wants to follow the story he started before it was stolen from him and her vegan activist assistant who may or may not have been involved with the liberation. There's also a pit bull named Booger and a stripper named Ivanka. Very interesting.
