JOHN LE CARRE
Quite superb.....a masterpiece
WILLIAM BOYD
Tim Butcher's extraordinary, audacious journey through the Congo is worthy of the great 19th century explorers. Completely enthralling but also a thoughtful and sobering portrait of modern Africa
ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH
A remarkable, fascinating book by a courageous and perceptive writer. One of the most exciting books to emerge from Africa in recent years.
THE SUNDAY TIMES
Tim Butcher’s book is the latest in a long line, running through Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, VS Nai-paul... his account of a hair-rising trip from east to west, against all advice, by motorbike and then river boat, is gripping and harshly informative...
MAX HASTINGS
Blood River represents a remarkable marriage of travelogue and history, which deserves to make Tim Butcher a star for his prose, as well as his courage.
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
From his adventure he has plundered a wealth of terrific stories, and survived to recite a rosary of unstinting horror.
FERGAL KEANE
This is a terrific book, an adventure story about a journey of great bravery in one of the world's most dangerous places. It keeps the heart beating and the attention fixed from beginning to end.
HATCHARDS
...unputdownable...
GILES FODEN
An intrepid adventure... Tim Butcher has followed in the footsteps of Stanley and Conrad. It takes a lot of guts to yomp through the Congo and he obviously has plenty of those. But it is the wit and passion of the writing which keeps you engrossed.
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
..stirring and thought-provoking.
AESTHETICA MAGAZINE
....a remarkable travelogue of exquisite proportions.... highly emotive, historical and personal...Butcher’s elegant style demands the reader’s attention.......Blood River is nothing short of a modern-day masterpiece.
WANDERLUST
What makes Blood River such a compelling read is the fact that the journey becomes an exercise in mental terror, the author skilfully conveying the exhaustion of six weeks on tenterhooks, wondering what might happen just around the next bend.
THOMAS PAKENHAM
Tim Butcher deserves a medal for this crazy feat. I marvel at his courage and his empathy with the unfortunate Congolese...
ESQUIRE
...gripping...
TRAVEL AFRICA
The past meets present in this enthralling travelogue through the depths of the Congo.
