Leaving for the company to enjoy

this could do with moving along, so i'm taking it to the mini-meet up: either to be picked up for personal use by a BCer, or to be released on my behalf by one of them on their walk

I picked this up while having a delicious sandwich with Vekiki and other bookcrossers during a visit to London. 2011 is going to be my year of reading books from lots of different cultures, so this fits in nicely.

Great to see you again, Vekiki.

This book was very well written, with flashbacks to provide background information without the pace dropping. I did get a little confused when the flashbacks became real time, but I think that was because of where I stopped in the book for a rest.

The story outlines very well the ecological damage being done by drilling oil, as well as the social unrest, destruction of traditional cultures, and unhappiness involved with the industry.

I enjoyed reading this very much.

I finished this while on a plane from Manchester to Las Vegas, where I spent a weekend living it up. I handed it to a friend who was travelling with me, and it is now heading back to London.
