Lulu (Amman, Jordan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Amnesia Clinic (Hardcover)

Although this book gets off to a slow & often complicated start...it really is worth pursuing.

The author is very talented at given different spins on each story to unravel an even more complex web of truth.

Fascinating details are included...not least of which includes shrunken heads & decomposing whales. Quite an adventure.
