I found this book informative from a point of view that showed off the overall unique nature of the Congo jungles of central Africa. While the author's quest certainly sounds a bit ludicrous the subject matter of most of this book was actually a botanical and cultural showcase in many ways. The author has a keen interest in the flora and fauna of the jungle, as well as a lot of interest in the many tribes and urban landscapes of the DRC. This makes a good read for anyone wishing to hear about the various happenings of a land far away from the norm.
