I really struggle rating this book. While I enjoyed the premise and the peppering of Congo's history thoughout the book, I found the author's attitude towards the Congolese people he encoutered and his complete lack of acknowledgement of his immense privlege, being able to travel on UN vehicles, getting help from aid organisations etc very irritating.
