pickI wanted to love this book because of the subject it tackled but unfortunately it is on the border of a pick and a So-so. Loved it for it's in depth telling of the iban culture. What I didn't like was the plot which seemed a bit flat.

Smarkies @Cinfhen actually it had a lot of information which I loved. I now understand alot more about the iban culture. It was just the actual story plot which fell short. I would still recommend this as an introduction to Iban culture as it is an #ownvoices story. 4y
Cinfhen Good to know/ thanks for sharing & posting 4y
alisiakae Great review! When I was on Semester at Sea, an Iban village on Borneo hosted some of us students for a few nights. It was such a memorable experience to learn about their way of life. It took a plane ride from KL, 3 hr drive, and 1 hr boat ride to reach their village. 4y
Smarkies @4thhouseontheleft that sounds like a great experience. I have not done that before though I did explore some options last time. 4y
