Title: Rules of the Wild
Product review: Boring. Reminded me of the Bonfire of the Vanities only set in Africa. And it only seemed like Africa from a concocted movie set. The characters were soap-operatic. Esme, the main character had all the other characters telling her how deep she is and yet her actions throughout the book are sophmoric. The idea of juxtapositioning the raw nature of Africa against the violence of the humanity that actually occupies Africa as home is what drew me to the book. But not enough description of the beauty as well as not enough explanation/focus of the political events. Only the drivel of drinking, drugging, sex, and unreal dialogue of the white privileged class.
