Tim Butcher on Blood River, Author Interview

[peytbass]

An excellent read. Must read! Tim allows you to journey where no other author in our time has done with regards to the Congo. Where it is, where it was and any hope for the future.

I have just finished reading Blood River. An amazing adventure of Tim Butcher through the Congo River using all forms of transport means. Tim used motorbikes, boats, jeeps, and even a helicopter to get through his "impossible" journey. I recommend the book strongly, since it illustrates the past, present and recommendation for the future of not only the Congo but the African continent in general. Hayder Ameer

Thank you Tim Butcher. "Blood River" is brilliantly written and I admire Tim for being so bold so as to undertake his epic journey through the Congo. I liked the book so much I am reading it again. It would be great to see Tim write a similar book set in West Africa and based on the explorations of Mungo Park
