"Really good story, but I didn't particularly like the author's writing style. He seemed to dwell on relatively unimportant things and gloss over the parts of the story that I was most interested in."
"I love this book. An intriguing and beautifully written book about the search for the Bushman in the Kalahari desert. The author details the physical as well as psychological aspects of this journey taken in 1955."
