Ratings and reviews

I am bit disappointed by the style and the many swearing words in this book. I thought it was going to be epic and amazing when I started reading the introduction and the mention of Mokele-Mbembe. I thought that moat of The Congo's wonderful mysteries were going to be either debated or deciphered in this book. instead, I mostly read angry narratives, insults and yes, people dying throughout the book. CONGO, A FORGOTTEN WORLD is such a great title.

This book is about South Africa underrated place Congo which is overwhelmed with unique species of animal. This book holds a suspension question which answer is full of suspence and thrill A good book to find one self around the thrill of wild animals

Mechanical Justice,and Bound over can be this way from nation wide. Saying from all over the world have access to valuable information talored to everybody.
