Book Description
Bill Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International. All royalties and profits go to CARE International.
Bryson visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to worry a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s after he became a little too saggy to fit into a Tarzan loincloth without depressing popcorn sales among cinema audiences, the great Johnny Weissmuller filled the twilight years of his acting career with a series of low-budget adventure movies with titles like Devil Goddess and Jungle Moon Men, all built around a character called Jungle Jim.

By buying this book, you are actually making a donation to CARE International.
This is a nice cause which is why I'm giving it 4 stars.
However, I feel like Bill Bryson doesn't put as much effort in a book when he's not getting paid for it.
The book is merely a (small) gift to thank you for the gesture.
It is way too short and barely scratches the surface of life in Kenya.
If you'd like a (very) short glimpse of life in Kenya, this book is for you.
It brings the term "quick read" to a whole new level.
It is good, but should be longer.
