Book Review: A perfect brain shot
Summary: 2 Stars
I usually love Wilbur Smith, but not this book. After the Triumph of the Sun (which was one of his most gripping books, a lot of adventure, you never know what's going to happen, you can't wait to turn pages ext...) I expected a lot more. I mean, the beginning is quite good it promises a lot, but then the core of the book it's just about hunting! I know he likes to describe some hunting scenes in every book, but here the hunting is more than half the story, nothing gripping or exiting, just one perfect brain shot after the other with some human casualties every now and then. It goes on and on with the killing of every possible species of Africa, elephants, buffalos, lions, more buffalos, alligators, lions, elephants again, pigs, whatever moves ext... The real story starts when the book is almost over, and doesn't last long enough; it's neither intriguing nor intricate to the point where it's almost predictable.
This book has a lot of brain shots but few brain shocks, the reader remains with a flat line.
