"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."

The Curve of the World Listener Reviews
-
" Too many 'dream/hallucination sequences'. The story line COULD have been so good. "
— Alana, 11/27/2013 -
" 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. "
— Bonnie, 8/26/2013 -
" I picked this book up and finished it the same night! I couldn't sleep until I found out what happened to these characters! "
— Patty, 6/2/2013 -
" 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. "

— Adrienne, 6/24/2011 -
" 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. "
— Kevin, 2/17/2011 -
" I just reread this. It was just as good the second time. "
