Wonderful narration, disappointing ending

I liked this audiobook more many others up until the ending. The narration was wonderful. The ending was very disappointing. It was as if CS Forester just ran out of ideas and decided to stop writing. I was expecting much more.

Super book version..

Seen movie million times! Good dialog & super description of surroundings. Great cultural depictions of indigenous people.

Touching, charming,

One of the best stores by Forester. Similar but very different flavor from Hornblower

African Queen much more than the movie.

Great story by one of the masters. The book is much more than the movie. makes my trip so much more enjoyable. The reader is one of my favorite actors. Foile's War.

The African Queen

Excellent story (better than movie, the movie was great....but the book is better).I was so enthralled I had to finish the story. Hours fly by when listening to an audiobook and this book is no different. I highly recommend this book. If you loved the movie you'll love the book. Thank you and Happy Reading/Listening.
