"I couldn't put this book down! It reminded me a lot of Little Bee, due to the setting, troubles in Africa, and views on colonialism and its lasting impressions, but I found it to be so, so much more enjoyable." — Mike (5 out of 5 stars)
"I couldn't put this book down! It reminded me a lot of Little Bee, due to the setting, troubles in Africa, and views on colonialism and its lasting impressions, but I found it to be so, so much more enjoyable."
" Too many 'dream/hallucination sequences'. The story line COULD have been so good. "
" I wanted to keep on reading to see if this couple could ever get back together after his plane crashlands in the African jungle. Kind of like the theme: of two ships passing in the night. "
" I picked this book up and finished it the same night! I couldn't sleep until I found out what happened to these characters! "
" This was a good first novel from Marcus Stevens - part adventure story, part clash of civilizations. I recommend it for entertainment. If you want to read a novel about the Congo, read The Poisonwood Bible instead. "
" Well written. Good read. Forgettable plot. "
" A pageturner with brains and heart. "
" Interesting idea for a book - liked description of the Congo - not sure about how it ended. "
" 2.5* CnC rating: 2.5* "
" Like the adventure through the jungle physically and relationshiply :) "
" I read this during a camping trip, we were at a local bookstore and I needed SOMETHING. It was ok, entertaining and interesting, but nothing exceptional. "
" I was expecting more of an adventure story but this was quite good. There were some story weaknesses and some parts seemed less than realistic. However, it's an enjoyable first novel. "
" I just reread this. It was just as good the second time. "
