How I Found Livingstone

A good read, a little heavy but thorough. A good companion to Livingstons Africa

No problems. Arrived as described and on time.

Great reading. What a lot of dangers and deprivations Mr. Stanley went through in those early stages of Africa,

Very sastified

Living history well written by Stanley whose vocabulary will have you constantly referring to the dictionary and leave you in awe of his talents!

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.

Given the era in which it was written, the language is a bit overblown but not intolerably so. However, the formatting is a continual challenge. The tale is interesting but be prepared to adjust the font size every couple of chapters.

This is Mr Stanleys accurate account of his travails in Africa, and it is never what you think. The bugs, the people, the muck, not the animals. Also an insight into the medical ignorance of the day. Learn the real value of cloth in Dotis. Yes folks, money in Africa was carried in bales....cloth. Dr Livingston really really could have used google earth and penicillin, but alas....

not a bad read, and you cant beat the free price.........haha

Good reading.
