thegregk 's review for:

The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wade Davis

2.0

---

The first half is interesting enough, but the second half is meandering and pointless. I picked this up expecting to hear the story I saw in the movie, that's not at all what this is. While informative - about the history of Haiti, voodoun practices, and toxicology - the narrative itself dries up significantly and it was an absolute slog to get to the end.
