Title: I expected much more!
Product review: After reading "The White Rhino Hotel", I was looking forward to this book. I truly enjoyed the cast of characters I knew would be inhabiting it from Bull's other novel set in Africa. I was disappointed. The people of the story are still well-written and the texture of the settings is first-rate. But the story left me cold. I know that "coincidences" and "contrivances" are necessary to any plot, this one was almost nothing but. If you like a rather brutish tale set during the Italian invasion of Abyssinia and don't mind one set-up after another, you'll really like this adventure book. You will care about the characters. However, if you can get a copy of "The White Rhino Hotel", I'd think you'd spend your reading time with a much better story.
