Unfortunately I am unable to finish this book. The subject matter is just way too dark and graphic for me to handle. I think that it's important to occasionally read emotionally difficult books, but when it comes to the Rwandan massacre there is only so much that I could handle reading about. Perhaps it's because I'm a new mother, but I found this book to be personally unreadable when it talked multiple times (in detail) about babies being murdered.
I find myself torn about this book, as I feel that it is important to show things how they really were, but I feel like perhaps the message could have been relayed with less graphic detail. Despite my issues with this book I did still find the writing to be of a very high quality and I think that someone with a thicker skin than me would really enjoy this. I would love to read more by this author, just something with a lighter subject matter.

The author is clear and informative in his writing, although I do feel like the language sometimes felt a little stiff. The book also features a massive array of beautiful, high quality pictures that were a joy to look at. As far as travel guides go, I liked this. I do generally prefer more casual guides ( in terms of language) but nevertheless this was still a fun and enlightening read. Would recommend.
