3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting slog from a different era and a facinating country, 2 Nov 2007
By D. Sim (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The other reviewer is right to call this account a slog, but that is precisely what Greene's journey was. He decided to journey through a land where a white man is seen perhaps twice a decade, to people who live a simple life.

If you're looking for a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat novel of semi-truths this is not the book for you. If you have an interest in West Africa, Liberia, native living, superstition, colonialism, exploration, and generally Greene as a person this book is good. I found digesting in two chunks a more managable read.

Certainly very different to Greene's other writings, but for me gave an interesting perspective on an unusual country and a remarkable man.

2.0 out of 5 stars West African Travel When It Was A Little Less Dangerous..., 17 Aug 2004
By ianrmillard - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Today, West Africa is probably more dangerous than it was in the 1930's, when this was penned. Greene later served as a British SIS operative in Sierra Leone, during WW2. Reading this book now is not to reflect that not much has changed, but that some parts (at least Sierra Leone) were far more civilized then than they are now (i.e. since "Independence", corruption, civil war, mutilated civilians etc), for all that Greene expiates on the boring provincial British inhabiting the few decent bars and hotels, rather in a reversal almost of the manner of Waugh (Evelyn, not his self-satisfied semi-cretin son Auberon), who declared Australia to be "a huge continent, entirely inhabited by the lower classes". Greene has never been a writer appealing much to this reviewer, an odd mixture of snobbery and reversed snobbery perhaps springing from his Quaker or nonconformist roots. This book is one of his more readable, perhaps because factual. It is, however, like his West African journey, an undistinguished slog.
