I really wish there were half-star ratings... Sold 3.5 for me. I thought it ran a little long at points, and I grew a little weary of the heterosexual machinations. I realize this is a personal thing, and I am sure it would be more interesting to some people. I did, however, love the beautiful descriptions of the African wilderness.

Some nice quotes:

"We're tricked into thinking our husbands are gods."

"My mother once said that fear is like a man who, once burned, is afraid of a glow worm."
