Title: Makes a great adventure boring and confusing.
Review: It's hard, but obviously not impossible, to make one of the great true adventure stories, the British Raj in Borneo, boring and confusing. Ms. Godshalk's rambling prose makes "War and Peace" look terse. Ms. Godshalk has a habit of writing a paragraph with twelve charactors and starting the next with "he" or "she". Most of your time is spent trying to figure out "he" who? In a book this size the charactors are surprisingly sketchy. Perhaps there is just too much trying to happen here.
Is the review positive or negative?
