3.5

Certainly interesting to read, if slow despite its relatively short length. The narrative form makes the prose clunky and winding for many parts, separating intriguing moments and insights into characters and the environment of the Congo between dull and sometimes lengthened out segments that are later condensed and make you wonder 'why couldn't the rest of the story follow this concise storytelling if possible?'
