3.0 out of 5 stars not up to WS Par, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Elephant Song (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is not up to the standard of the other WS books. The characters lack depth. You don't feel as much a part of them as you do in River God, Sunbird, etc. The yarn is good but but not as believable as others Smith has written. The story falls flat in the middle because of an unnecessary move from Africa to Tiawan. It's still a fun read so don't give up.

Fantastic book, as are his others. You just get swept away by the vistas and the characters. Nobody better!

This review is from: Elephant Song (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book - learning about Africa, the rainforest, the elephants. The reason I only give it 4 stars is the descriptions of the sexual perversion of one of the characters was totally unnecessary to the story.
