Title: How de Body? One Man's Terrifying Journey Through an African War by Teun Voeten ISBN: 0-312-28219-2 Publisher: Thomas Dunne Books Pub. Date: 06 August, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: You are there, in Sierra Leone, during the past ten years.
Comment: For people from Sierra Leone, this book verifies the stories and rumors that they have been hearing over the years. The excellent pictures speak for themselves. References are there so that the reader may continue to read more about the devastation of a people from a peaceful country. For those who don't know about the tragedy going on in West Africa, this book tells all.
Rating: 3
Summary: Incomplete, conceited tale
Comment: While this book offers up a narrowly focused tale on Sierra Leone's civil war, Tuen Voeten's strained efforts to sound hip in the telling make this book one worth reading only if you're looking to see events from a different angle. Voeten's flagrent use of swear words (I wouldn't care about them if they added to the story) throughout the book seem to be an effort to sound like a cowboy on assingment instead of a professional journalist. Overall Voeten provides an easy to follow narrative about his experiences, but essentially no background on the events in Sierra Leone during the period of his times there.
Rating: 5
Summary: True to life
Comment: I recently visited the places Voeten speaks about in this book. He tells the truth about a beautiful people and a tragic land.
