Only the Mountains Do Not Move: A Maasai Story of Culture and Conservation by Jan Reynolds
3.0
Okay so here's what I liked about the book:
-The photographs were brilliant. I love looking at photographs of people from different cultures and different parts of the world.
-I have heard of the Maasai before, but I did not know so much about their culture practices.
-This is a good book for individuals who are beginning to learn about various aspects of the cultures in Eastern Africa.
-It is an easy read. It only took me about 25 minutes to read.
-I loved how the book incorporated the environmental issues associated with the Maasai. They have so much going on and they have to adjust to a new way of life.
What I didn't like:
-I wanted more information, but I suspect that's because this was written more children and not adults.
-I think it watered down some information related to the Maasai and their cultural practices.
Overall it was a good introduction to the Maasai and I definitely will be interested in checking out more information and books related to them.
