"I se so many reviews for this book and guess that obe more is probably not very useful. Goodreads is where I found the reference to this book and I thought that it is fitting that I put in a review for this book. It is a thin book and written with the usual Bill Bryson flourish. It is a gentle and superficial look at Africa but no less entertaining for that. There is a right mixture of adventure, humor and pathos. Loved the book and would recommend to anyone who likes to read. Oh yes, the proceeds from the sale of the book is given to CARE , so all the more reason to buy and read this book :-)"
"Bill Bryson went to Kenya to write about Somali refugees in the remote south of the country. Along the way he strolls through Kibera, the largest slum in Africa, (in Nairobi) visits some old white colonials and goes on safari. His usual good writing, but I read this book, literally, in a half hour. I wish he could REALLY go to Africa and write a REAL book. He did this one to benefit CARE, the relief agency. It has about 60 pages."
"It wasn't as devil-may-care as Bryson's other books, but then, look at the subject matter. Has some stellar parts and gives (I think) a more objective and interesting look at Africa and its peoples than most media does."
