Reader Reviews:
A Fascinating personal journey through Africa (6/6 people found this helpful)
Naipaul is immensely skillful in his interweaving of his own feelings and impression with those of the people he meets on his African travels. There are times when the narrative is allowed to linger on subjects which do not seem particularly relevant to the Africa he is exploring, but generally the book is a fine overview of the continent, its legacies, and the problems it faced at the time Naipaul was writing. Naipaul shows a special talent for grasping the dilemmas faced by both African nations and African peoples.
