Review: I found myself checking information from the book on google ... - I found myself checking information from the book on google. This is a true story but I found it hard to follow.
Review: Keeps Me Reading - This isn't about the realization of a dream, but the journey toward it. Despite my inability to keep the unfamiliar, unpronouncable African names separated, I am drawn to reading this book. People who can endure such physical and mental stress to the point of death so many times---their motivations fascinate me. I wasn't disturbed by the long absence of certain characters like his love who disappeared from the scene and reappeared ages later as a ragged, sick derelict, because that is how life is woven. The daily effort to survive takes first place in priorities. I was surprised that he didn't try to find her, especially since his European legal wife had died, but he was with his son and they were always enduring some malady or other, including a deliberate attempt to poison them. Contrast his life to ours in which we consider basics to be cell phones and GPS devices.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating lokk into a Different World
*by T***R on July 5, 2013*

Very interesting, exploration into a very different world. The book reads well, but can be a little confusing with a lot of characters with unfamiliar names. From my perspective it takes a neutral view on colonialism without glorifying the European or African cultures. The story is a bit absurd, particularly relative to the exploits of the main character, who I do not think had any basis in fact
