It was a pretty good book. A lot of scientific terms that made it hard to understand though. There were just some questions left unanswered such as "Why did it not affect Ribicoff? Why didn't he die? Is it something in his blood or genetic code?" These questions has been bugging me for a while even after finishing the story. Illustrations might also help.
It is really amazing to remember that this book was written 30 years ago. It is just as relevant today as it was then.
The story is gripping - without a doubt. The characters will embed themselves in your mind. Make sure that you have enough time to get into this book. I had a difficult time setting it down. As other reviewers have pointed out, this is a unique storyline with amazing characters. Pick up this renewed oldie for a simply excellent reading experience.

Initially, this book seemed to be about a group of people on a crocodile hunt along a river in Africa. In truth, that hunt while interesting, is merely the backdrop to the story. The real focus, and strength, of this story is the relationships between the white, the blacks, and the different tribes. I found the interrelations between these societal elements to be fascinating. I learned about African cultures at a grass rot level.
I sometime gauge my rating of a book based loosely on how much of the story I gloss or skim over. I must admit that I read each and every word of this book. This is not a feel good book since it is a bit bloody. Even though there is a great story of the people, the action-adventure portions of the hunt are well written.
I did receive a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I honestly recommend this book to everyone. You will read about a great story that you may have no awareness.… (meer)

Well, I can't say this was my favourite book. I received this as library thing reviewer, but goodness if that wasn't long ago. The beginning of the book had much promise in the interesting storyline, however, the story and characters unraveled as the book progresses. I would recommend cutting lots of story; it's unnecessary and dragging.
