Book Reviews of The Zanzibar Chest
Book Review: A page turner, but....
Summary: 3 Stars
...The Zanzibar Chest is at times nearly obscene in it's adrenaline filled adventure. Many of the stories are beyond belief. Mr. Hartley has lived a life none have lived and few would wish to live. But it is certainly entertaining reading.
Hartley also does an excellent job developing a unifying theme of Africa and it's mystery and relates it to his fathers life.
Other similar books I'd reccommend would be Don't let's go to the dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller and Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux. Zanzibar chest tops both in excitement but is perhaps their equal in writing quality.
