review 1: It was educational, however the author's attitude towards the problem was a little annoying.. tiresome? Ignorant to say the least, and insensitive. To come into a woman's home and ask her to list all of her misfortunes in gruesome detail, and then have no real plan of attack to help?? I failed to find a point. I was also a little offended and unhappy to hear the author's complaints about the village people asking for help in the form of money or sugar... Did she not come there to help? Not exactly sure what to think about this one.
review 2: As a few other people have said, Lisa Shannon is a philanthropist, not an author. Her intentions are good but at times her actions seem reckless or cringeworthy. Her intent on finding people she met once (who didn't feel a ... moreconnection to her) put her and others at danger. There are defiantly cringe worthy moments when she asks questions that perhaps shouldn't have been asked. I felt she had an agenda to help the women of the DRC yet her own personal agenda too. (Not sure what it was). Interesting at times but I spent a lot of the time wondering the inspiration of her actions. less
