I went into this book after only reading the title and thought I was in for something fast-paced that kept me on the edge of my seat and gave me Blood Diamond vibes. It was not that.
It was lackluster and the author weaves his own personal story through the narrative (which has absolutely NOTHING to do with pigeons and diamonds).
In addition, while I know this goes on, I just hated the sheer amount of page space dedicated to the ill treatment of pigeons. I love animals and treating them as something so expendable for personal gain really bothered me. I know it happens, but don’t tell me the gory, sad details. I felt sad the entire time I was reading this :(
