Fast paced, funny and fun. Not the most polished writing style, but it was fun enough for a quick read.
This book was so, so much better than I expected. It sounded good, but it is so well written. Side note, the audio performance of this book is fantastic. If you've got access and the bandwidth, I highly recommend reading this way.

Wow this was a doozy.
I heard it described as Evelyn Hugo meets Jurassic Park and that was actually pretty accurate! A glamorous entourage of actors and Hollywood types go on a safari together in the Serenghetti and are kidnapped by Russian mercenaries. It turns into a bloody, breathless survival story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I loved this! Interspersed with the action, you get flashbacks into the characters’ lives (LOST style), a technique that keeps it interesting and adds a lot of depth.
This was pretty damn great if you don’t mind some violence—both by wild animals and humans with weapons.
I will need to read more books by @chrisbohjalian ! This was my first, and I am a huge fan of The Flight Attendant show based on his book. Which of his novels should I read next??

A fun listen, but ultimately forgettable. I enjoyed the multiple POVs and flashbacks, and some of the kidnap scenes were truly horrific. However, I wanted more from the plot and I was more often than not confused by the amount of characters.

Suspenseful so far, but there was something that felt forced/awkward about the writing. Just wasn’t right for me,
