Negative Positive
Title: Nice try, Not really
Review: To say that the author was the only European to travel the North-West coast of Madagascar in the last century is a complete marketing fib. I know of two Frenchman who rode the length and breadth of Madagascar, including the so-called "zone rouge" on horseback in 1995. I personally bought gems in the region in 1997. This book deserves its obsucurity in the dust bin of overblown travel writing. A lone white man facing the dangers of unexplored Madagascar... please, spare us.
