dcliz 's review for:

The Lioness by Chris Bohjalian
4.0

Rounding up from 3.5 stars. What can I say, I enjoy Chris Bohjalian's novels. It's hard to review this one without spoilers, and I hope it's not too much of one to reveal that unknown narrator of the Prologue ends the second paragraph with "We went [to the Serengeti] and (most of us, anyway) died there in 1964." The rest of the chapters are narrated by different guests and employees of the wildlife safari that turns into a deadly ordeal. Don't start the last ~60 pages if you need to go to bed soon; in true Bohjalian style, the final chapters are page turners.
