Central Africa Book

Interesting if a little unsatisfying

I like true life adventure stories and historical accounts but I had a little trouble with this one. Maybe I'm just not into the great white hunter stories, much of the early parts of this book were dedicated to hunting various animals, but the latter part of the book picked up steam. Baker's dealing with the natives and the eventual reaching of his goal paints Baker as a likable and good man who was also a clever and shrewd adventurer.
