Book Review of The Viceroy of Ouidah

The Viceroy of Ouidah
reviewed on


Filled with presumably accurate historical details, this book ought to be interesting. In fact, in the beginning, it hooked me with its humor and beautiful writing. Half-way through, I began to feel bored and didn't finish it, but I am going to give it 4 stars because I think others might like it.

Be aware that because of the subject matter and times the book deals with, it naturally contains some savage or gruesome scenes. (There are a few images I wish I could forget.)
