An honest account of an overland adventure in Africa, July 4 1998
By bovi@worldnet.att.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blonde in Africa (Paperback)
What a worthwhile book! Laura Resnick shares her adventures on an overland adventure in Africa. What is great about this book is that it is refreshingly honest. Laura is very upfront about everything. She tells it like it is from how and where to the bathroom to what she realy thinks about hiking. If you like reading travel journals you're going to like this book!

Perfect, July 14 2001
By Kathy Pearson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Blonde in Africa (Hardcover)
Having just returned from Africa, I have to thank Laura Resnick for taking me back there again. Her book paints a perfect picture of an American's experiences in a country that couldn't be more different from ours. From albinos, bugs, strange illnesses, whizzing downhill, the joys of Listerine, showering in the rain, dehydration, communication challenges, etc. Laura shares her trip with us in a heartfelt, often hilarious novel.

This book is intense, Jan 29 2005
By BeccaC. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blonde in Africa (Paperback)
This books is very intense and up front. I spent a couple of months living in a travel trailer in the US and I thought that was quite a difficult adventure, until I read this book.There's a good interview at www.firstvoicebooks.com/blonde.html with the author.
Ants, roads, shopping for meat, charming festivals, leg sores, it's one heck of an adventure.
Thank goodness I can stay home and just read about it.
Listmania!
