Story was good and different parts of it came together at the end well. I found this story as adventure/mystery. More than half of the book was about describing nature, culture, people and cities. This can be desirable or not based on what readers want to read. Despite that i love nature and traveling around world, it was a little bit boring to me to read a book about it while i want a thriller story. Actually i skipped about 20% of the book to be able to finish the book. The last 100 pages didn't contain details about environment and focused more on the wrapping up the story. I wished the author did it throughout the book but as a summary i didn't regret and i can read another book of this author in the future. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Has the adaptation
A journey to the green inferno of the African jungle brings one man face to face with his macabre past. Every year the storks would set off on their astounding 12,000-mile migration from Northern Europe to the remote Central African Republic. One year, inexplicably, puzzling numbers of them fail to return. At the invitation of a Swiss ornithologist, Louis Antioch agrees to investigate the mystery of the birds' disappearance. Before he can set off on his quest, however, his patron is found dead in bizarre circumstances. Jean-Christophe Grang-'s uncompromising narrative develops at a nightmare pace from a Bulgarian gypsy encampment to a kibbutz in the Occupied Territories, to the African jungle, to Calcutta, where an appalling and gruesome truth emerges- the end of a mission that began with the Flight of the Storks- No library descriptions found. |
