Title: buy easterly instead
Review: this book was not all that i'd hoped it would be; i was very disappointed. why?1) it was poorly organized.2) it was hard to trudge through, not a joy like other books.3) there was too much personal info about the author that had nothing to do with 'the trouble with africa'.4) there was posturing and self-congratulation that i found really distasteful. the author may indeed have gotten a lot closer to the poor than the other aid workers or local government officials, and he may indeed have received awards at the village level, but that really has nothing to do with 'the trouble with africa' either.5) what was actually worthwhile here only filled 20 pages.
Is the review positive or negative?
