Book Reviews of African Wildlife: A Photographic Safari
Book Review: Nice Pictures but ultimately not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
I happened to pass by this book at my local library, and I ended up reading all 150 unremarkable pages. This book is essentially a compilation of Bach's journal entries and Krasemann's photographs, and a lot of times, to the book's detriment, they have nothing to do with each other. The photographs are certainly nice, but the journal entries are useless. Bach's journal is basically 150 pages of bland animal descriptions. There is little else. We barely learn anything about the circumstances of her trip, the people she interacts with, or anything else about her experience. Instead the average sentence is something like, "Today we saw the lion, the great king of the jungle." Anybody could have written this. There is nothing unique about her experience, at least from what she shows us. I got through the first 90 pages of the book in forty five minutes, and only decided to finish it because it went by so fast and had decent pictures. But I recommend that you don't waste your time, if you have better resources available.
