Customer Reviews

Not just a book... - Rated 5/5
... but a journey. Touching, human, and thought-provoking. He takes Rwanda not as one case but as a case we can and should all learn from. It got me asking myself about killings that we accept as legal: as necessary "work" in our society. From conception till natural death, in sorrow and in joy; he is living testimony that every moment of every life IS infinitely worthy.


Wonderful book! - Rated 5/5
I loved reading this book. I do not only admire Paul for his survival and negotiating skills during the genocide but I admire him as a person. He really even tries to put himself in the shoes of the killers around him. Of course he disaproves of their behaviour but you still feel a sense of love and forgiveness around him for all people. And I really admire him for that.


Book Review for University - Rated 5/5
I had already seen this book and bought it for an extended book review I had to do for university about a book that would be good for general managers of hotels to read.

The book is brilliant, it is touching and real and you can really imagine the situation that these people were in and what a great man Paul Rusesabagina was.

It is not very long either so it is a good read and the language is of a normal level also.

A fantastic read - if it wasn't a true story it would be considered as a great bit of fiction but unfortunately it is true and very moving.


An Ordinary Man - Rated 5/5
This is the powerful story of Paul Rusesabagina and how he survived the Rwandan genocide, whilst trying to help as many others at the same time. The film 'Hotel Rwanda' was based upon his story. The writing style is extremely easy to read, even if the subject matter makes for harrowing and even uncomfortable reading at times. Paul comes across as a modest man, with the utmost integrity and you can't help but be impressed by how he behaved during the genocide and worked toward saving as many refugees as possible. He explains the historical context to the genocide, as well as some of the politics, both national and international as it was carried out and this makes for an enlightening read. Fortunately, he is able to write this harrowing story and is still able to finish the book leaving you feeling inspired and not without hope for the future. A great book of a turbulent time that was ignored by western nations and international bodies as it occurred. Well worth a read.
