This book is just plain racism. It is not good.
I get that this book is interesting to study and analyse (I had too read this for uni class too) but that does not make this book more interesting.
It is written in a very weird way, I had te reread sentences and paragraphs to understand what was really said but I think I missed 90% of the story. I read somewhere the author wanted to portray the difficulty of going through the jungle in his writing and I can say he succeeded in that.
Would absolutely not recommend this book, spare yourself, love yourself.
