Still wonderful after all of these years...

This is not the movie. In many ways the movie. The movie is better than the book. But this reflects the time of the British ruling and controlling large swaths of Africa as well as India. It is written in a very slow build and old fashioned style, and still the listener can see these men risking their lives and in some cases their morals to make their fortunes from hunting everything from elephants for their tusks to leopards for their pelts. We modern readers know the mess that group of people made of the environment. But we still hope the main characters make it home in one piece. H. Rider Haggard deserves his reputation for books that take the reader to the edge of their arm chairs.

unlistenable

couldn't get past first five minutes, the narrator is appalling - the story is no doubt very entertaining but I didn't get to hear it
