Crossing the Heart of Africa: An Odyssey of Love and Adventure by Julian Smith

3.0

If you want a good African travelogue, read Paul Theroux's 'Dark Star Safari.' This one honestly doesn't hold a candle to it, but the alternating perspective between Grogan's original journey, Smith's retracing, and flashbacks to Smith's life in the U.S. keep the narrative dynamic enough to pull you along through the book.
