The Man-Eaters of Tsavo


Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

(4.3 stars; 46 reviews)

In 1898, during the construction of river-crossing bridge for the Uganda Railway at the Tsavo River, as many as 135 railway workers were attacked at night, dragged into the wilderness, and devoured by two male lions.

The Man-Eaters of Tsavo is the autobiographical account of Royal Engineer Lt. Col. J.H. Patterson's African adventures. Among them, his hunt for the two man-eaters.

This book was the basis for the 1996 film The Ghost and the Darkness.

Reseñas

man eaters great story


(3 stars)

The first few readers were well and good. Enunciation was good and the tone was informative and easy to follow. Then the female reader began and I had to wince. it wasn't that she was inherently bad but rather that she insisted on reading EVERY sentence in the interrogative form as if there was a question mark instead of periods. it was almost unbearable and only the love of what I know to be a stellar drama kept me involved. Thankfully she doesn't read a whole lot.


(4 stars)

The readers were not so good but the content was captivating.
