Once I finished the book and posted my own thoughts on the book, I spent a little time over at the NYT Challenge blog and read other reviews about the book. We all seemed to have the same overall experience with the book, although in different ways. :-)<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - It is a very powerful book and not an easy on to read in regards to subject matter. If you do decide to read it, I hope you will find it a worthwhile read. I hesitate to say "enjoy" because I'm not sure it's that type of book. :-)<BR/><BR/>Rhinoa - Thanks! I don't think this is a book for everyone, but I think it's worth reading if you are willing to take the chance on it.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-88372474886676324072007-06-24T12:26:00.000-07:002007-06-24T12:26:00.000-07:00This looks interesting.

It sounds like a very powerful story, and I like what you said about the author weaving myth into it.<BR/><BR/>I think I might add it to my Reading Across Borders list, as it would certainly qualify for that.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-44166343495574261912007-06-24T07:18:00.000-07:002007-06-24T07:18:00.000-07:00Wendy, I am going to pursue MBA and am searching f...Wendy, I am going to pursue MBA and am searching for books on business, world economy,current business trends, infact anything to increase my business-knowledge (I have an engineering/technical background, hence I want to brush up business basics before classes start).<BR/>Thank you! :)Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913659537398642050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-72963664232235692022007-06-24T05:17:00.000-07:002007-06-24T05:17:00.000-07:00I enjoyed your review and comparing your impressio...I enjoyed your review and comparing your impressions to my own. I also really like the way you embellish your reviews with related information about the author or, in this case, about Sierra Leone.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219439074687598827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-54306074164215674792007-06-23T18:28:00.000-07:002007-06-23T18:28:00.000-07:00Malady - Thanks for the recommendation, Malady.
