The Last Train to Zona Verde: My Ultimate African Safari
by Paul Theroux
Paul Theroux paints a realistic, if not bleak at times, picture of modern-day Africa. His account of his experience in Angola was especially interesting because I really did not know much about that country. In most of Africa, there seems to be a huge discrepancy between the haves and have-nots, and this seems especially true in the politically-corrupt Angola. In the end, Theroux does come off as a bit jaded with the African continent, and frustrated with the corruption and lack of resources for the poor. I wished that he had identified what can be done to help countries like Angola a little more clearly, but I suppose that wasn't the point in his writing.
