sarakip 's review for:
The Lioness
by Chris Bohjalian
Did I love this? No. Did I hate this? Also, no.
This is my first read by this author; and, I have to admit that based on the description of the title, I thought it would be quite a bit more fast-paced. I found myself growing bored of the stories that weren't part of the actual safari (the characters flash back to stories of their lives that are sometimes relevant to what they are going through now and sometimes aren't) and I just wanted to get back to something exciting. It was interesting because I never read anything quite like this, but I am not raving about it. It has a LOT of characters to follow, so if that is not something you enjoy, I would skip this one. You can tell this is well researched, which I always appreciate, so it is a book you can learn from. Overall...it was just okay.
