Overall i think the book is a good read.
I'm attracted by the way the author develops the characters.
Certain chapters were dragged a bit, However still a good read
I will reccomend this book to my following. I rate this book four stars

My favorite part of this book is the author sharing personal information and keeping things real for her readers. At times I would get caught up in the adventure but would be pulled back into reality, remembering this was not a work of fiction
A downfall to this book is the number and timing of her flashbacks. While interesting, they can occur too close together or happen with no indication it's a flashback. Also, I feel like she might have been pressed for time as the story just ends suddenly. Its almost as if there should be another book to follow.
I would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who asks. I also think it would be a great gift for an avid reader.

Also if/when you do write a final review, tell us, or maybe it's just me, if South Africa is the only "Africa" in it. I find it disturbing when people refer to Africa as if it were a country in which South Africa is just a state.Zelinda wrote: ↑04 Sep 2017, 10:05 I'm only 20% through the book; I started late last night. It is an engrossing story. What I liked best is the idea that the journey can make the person more than she is at the start, that it is a growing experience. As an RV traveler who has only been on the road since June, I hope to experience the same wonder that Tina did throughout her adventure. I was surprised that I got a life story at the beginning rather than the tale of the walkabout as it began in South Africa and that put me off a little bit, but as I continued reading I was glad that she showed her previous life and put it all in context. There isn't anything I don't like about the book, but I won't rate it until I've completed it.
