Excellent story

An all time favourite book, makes me want to go to the Sahara and see a real salt caravan, cave paintings, pick up sea shells in the desert. Great story, wonderfully read.

Good story

A well told story in great detail. The narration was very well done and clearly spoken. I found the story a bit slow at the start but it picked up about 2 chapters in and finished off well.
