A wonderful Delight June 7, 2007
this book was read by myself time and again as a youth. John Taylor is is a delight as he shares his adventures and debunks fanciful tales of others. This book is one of my lifelong treasures.
Pondoro is a Legend. February 10, 2006
Excepts for shadows of Shame, i have loved every word he has written. he may exaggerate but he KNOWS Africa and how to tell a gripping yarn!

I was delighted to get a copy at last.It started of fairly well,
getting realy hard to read toward the end.Being such a long time hunter in the African bush I wondered why he could not fill the book with his exciting experiences.Which I am hoping he must have plenty. One thing I must mention here I am sure John Taylor is a proffessional but
throughout this book I am greatly disturbed abouth his continiues comments good and bad about the other great elephant hunters.
I personaly think that,it takes a lot away from this book and its reading pleasure.

Taylor's books have gone in and out of print, and been eclipsed by authors such as Capstick. But when it comes to writing about adventure in Africa Taylor delivers the goods. An admitted Ivory poacher, his tales of Africa from the late 20's to the 40's is a great reading experience. Many books on African hunting are by former game wardens and PH's, this book give an account of African hunting from the other side of the tracks.
