Review: Weird writing style, but not too shabby

Dust Devils started off strong, excellent beginning. I also enjoyed the interested look into commercialization of South African tourism. Actually, because the author is South African, the attention to detail about day-to-day life there was amazing. I mentioned above that the writing style was a bit weird, and I'm sorry, but it was. Roger Smith used very few pronouns or subjects in his sentences, which I found jarring at first. The style is also brutally matter-of-fact, also unnerving at first. But it had a high body count, which was thrilling and disturbing all at the same time, and a pretty decent ending, so 3 1/2 stars. I rounded up.
