One of those books that I respected more than I actually enjoyed. Beautifully written, but also slow and a bit heavy-handed at times.

My first 5stars. I can easily find flaws in books, even small stuff, but for the life of me I couldnt find one here. Not one chapter was I bored, not one story I didnt want to hear. It made me feel plenty for the characters and at the same time, I learned so much about Congo and its history without it ever feeling like a info dump. Great writing and great story. Just perfect.
