This type of is good for... | ||
Brooding over afterwards. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The rich depictions of the jungle, and the brilliant way the author sets the mood. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
It's a bit verbose at times, and it drags in certain parts. | ||
When I finished n/a this I wanted to... | ||
stay away from the jungle | ||
This made me feel... | ||
kind of sad, kind of curious | ||
The n/a of this ... | ||
was a very interesting character from France. He wrote many books and played a large part in politics. Andre Malraux, worth looking up. | ||
I recommend this because... | ||
It is at once action packed and existially influenced. Action are proceeded by heart felt reflection. The description is sensual, often told through the five senses of the main characters. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
This book has an interesting mix of philosophy and adventure. | ||
