Customer Reviews

Interesting and thought provoking

I found this book to be very interesting. It shows the dynamics of a monopoly taking over a small government. The coruption in government is exposed throughout this book. It shows how hard it is for individuals not working together to succeed in today's world; how with team work, more can be accomplished.

Intriguing novel that I would recommend to any looking for a good read.

I found salavandra to be a good and fresh novel that is superbly well written. This novel is a breath of fresh air, giving you a look into a world that dosent get much exposure.

Engaging novel about coffee, politics, geography and hope

Salavandra is an engaging novel focusing on the politics of coffee. It's a very human tale of hope, struggle, passion and justice. For anyone interested in grass roots activism, corporate responsibility (or lack thereof) or simply those interested in the path your coffee takes from the farm to your cup, this is a great resource and a really intriguing story.
