Green Hills of Africa

Fans of Ernest Hemingway will certainly enjoy the story of the author's month-long safari in East Africa in 1933 with his wife, Pauline. Replete with tales about the thrill of chasing big game, the joys of the kill, and the lushness of the scenery, this is truly classic Hemingway. It also serves as further proof that you either love his unique style or you don't. Narrator Josh Lucas clearly understands the author and delivers the material with a resonance and assurance that add to Hemingway's confident and passionate tone. Lucas has a fine sense of timing, along with a deft ability to add subtle yet distinct emphasis to key scenes. D.J.S. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
