How I Found Livingstone

Should view the glossary first, as so many words and terms are foreign. Or made-up. Otherwise, not enough about the natives and their culture as I had anticipated. Too much bragging and pandering, but still an interesting piece of history.

If you like original oral history This book is for you. This book gives a lot of insight into the customs and social interations of that period. I enjoyed it very much. Some of the older words needed a bit of research for me but that is part of the fun of reading older books.

this book is very very very repetitive (did you catch catch that?). However, Henry transports you to Africa right into the tribal culture, which is purely a magical read.

Excellent adventure and writing.

Very interesting true life storey of great historical importance. A must for history buffs. This detailled account of the story behind Dr Livingstone, I presume as spoken by Stanley brings to life the journeys taken by reporters of yesteryear.

I really liked this book but I gave 4 stars because he often seem to ramble into other stories. It was not hard to follow but I thought is had to many hmmmmmm asides I guess. But the look into Africa and the their way of life and especially the way they were thought of at the time and most especially the way they treated. I know that today it is still often thought that way and about our African-Americans here in the USA. It was hard to read because of the frankness in the truth. I do whole heartedly recommend this book to everyone. It should be required reading.
