Very interesting account of a Englishman sent to track down and kill two man eating lions in Africa around 1898AD. This is a true story of lions attacking and consuming railway track workers

The story was pretty interesting, but not amazing. That being said, it was well organized and easy listening.

Narration was really good.

Solid

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I wish I had the time to actually read it for myself, but this option provided me with what I believe to be a superb substitute.

Great!

I originally heard about this book because of a movie that came out a while back. I decided to listen through this really is one of the most fascinating stories I’ve ever heard not just with the lions of Tsavo but all the other events that took place afterwards.

What an interesting story.

I remember watching the movie ghost and the darkness years ago. after finding out it was based on a true story I wanted to learn more so I found the book and read it and then I discovered this one. I was and am not disappointed a very good reading of it I highly recommend it.

A look back in time. Some parts have antiquated thinking. The performer uses a whisper type voice that sounds unnatural. He also chooses non-traditional pronunciation for the American market. I love the book, wish someone else read it.

Fantastic book, one I've read myself many times.

In my opinion there’s nothing better than a story based on true events. This book takes you back to the late 1800s during the early Development of East Africa with all its adventures
perils.

Amazing story

Terrible story and the read had no conviction whatsoever, one of the worst audiobooks I ever had and the reading even worst.

Horrible book.

Spoiler alert.. Was honestly very boring the story doesn't seem to be about the actual lions rather his hunting journeys. The lions are killed with 4 hours left in the book. It was really hard to get over the narrator's accent.

very boring
