RWANDA, INC. How a Devastated Nation Became an Economic Modelfor the Developing World

Part business text and part history, this nonfiction narrative is told at a brisk pace, not unfamiliar to those who enjoy this genre. Hillary Huber delivers a capable performance in this chronicle of the past and future of Rwanda's economic rehabilitation. Her tone is confident and authoritative, carrying forward complex sentences, whether they’re about historical or development issues. The pauses and breaks after major ideas are welcome so that the reader can absorb the advanced level of detail being presented. If one is listening at length, without breaks, the overall effect might become slightly monotonous or even robotic since the delivery is so consistent throughout. Those familiar with business volumes, however, will likely find this an engaging listen, made personable by Huber’s voice. M.R. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2013]
