		<description><![CDATA[Well, I have some good things and bad things to say about this book.

Let&#8217;s get the bad out of the way first.

		<description><![CDATA[This book is a metaphor within a metaphor, wrapped in an enigma.  It&#8217;s not that you don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on, it&#8217;s just that you&#8217;ll have to follow it slowly, carefully, in order to pick up what Johnson&#8217;s laying down.

Of course, you can skip the metaphorical puzzle pieces and just go with the adventure and, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I remember learning in my high school International Relations class about Sierra Leone.  We, suburban kids of various backgrounds, were shocked when we heard that not only do they chop people&#8217;s limbs off, but they conscript children to do it by forcing them into the army getting them addicted to &#8220;brown brown&#8221;, which is cocaine [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen Apocalypse Now?  Good, then you already know the story of Joseph Conrad&#8217;s most famous novella.  No?  Then DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WATCH THAT MOVIE UNTIL YOU READ THIS BOOK.  

I&#8217;m going to only give the bare bones of the plot here, because it is a story about nothing and everything.  I [...]

		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, I had always thought that Barbara Kingsolver was Australian.  I have no idea why that is.  But that is why I read this American author during a kick I was on, reading authors from around the globe.  Since it mostly takes place in Africa, and I was already a few chapters in [...]
