I'm disappointed that so many readers dismiss this book as "too political." Unless you already happen to have extensive life experience with Africa, are you really in any position to run up your nose at an outstanding novel that also informs us about US involvement in Zaire? If you think it has nothing to do with you, then like Rachel Price, you're living in denial. Incidentally, I do agree that the book drags towards the end, thought for me that had less to do with politics, and more with repetitious material regarding the characters.
