Geldof In Africa Reviews

"'An entrancing book - reflective, insightful and angry where appropriate'" * Time Out *
"'It's shocking. I didn't expect, or want, to have to say this - but it's shocking because it's brilliant. Often spluttering with fury. And incredulous horror. But just as often, Bob is very, very funny.'" * Evening Standard *
"'Extremely well written and often remarkable'" * Sunday Times *
"'Geldof is a superb guide to this most generalised about, and least understood continent, negotiating a fine balance between well-informed passion and instinctively sardonic humour. Excellent'" * Guardian *
"'Brilliant. He has managed to reach into the soul of the Luminous Continent, and it has taken possession of him'" * Evening Standard *
