content: Not being very good with a gun, having little outdoorsman skills, and not being in the best shape of my life, reading this book was better than being there. If I was there, I would miss the animals, I would be too tired to enjoy it, and besides all of that, Africa is not as it was 100 years ago.I have just begun to reread this book, and I don't know how many times this is. I enjoy it each and every time I pick it up.
