Green Gold

by Gabriel Hemery

[Eve1972]

There were parts of this book I enjoyed, and there were parts that didn't work for me at all. The story told through the expedition journals (mainly fiction) I enjoyed a lot. The inclusion of the genuine historical documents, and the fictional present day chapters, I did not. I found it made the story choppy and interrupted the flow. I honestly started to skip them so I could get back to the fictional story being told via the journals. Based on my enjoyment of that alone, I will give this one three stars. However, I think author could have done a better job of melding the fiction with the non-fiction, and doing away with the "present time" all together.
