Feathered Quill Book Reviews
“…this novel, because of its excellent writing, likable characters, and a riveting, page turning story-line should not be missed by anyone. Quill says: The Dung Beetles of Liberia is not only an engaging read, but an eye-opening education on life in 1960's Liberia as experienced by a young American pilot.”
Douglas Rogers, Author of The Last Resort and Two Weeks In November.
“Rugged, riveting, packed with exotic adventure and attitude, Meier's Dung Beetles is non-stop entertainment.”
D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
“…The blend of fictional action and nonfiction social inspection is simply exquisite, and are strengths that set this story apart from many other fictional pieces sporting African settings.”
Lucinda E. Clarke for Readers’ Favorite
"…I loved this book, one of the best I have read in a long, long time and find it difficult to believe the author did not spend most of his life in Africa as he has grasped the problems, the customs, and the mindset so truthfully. Highly recommend reading – in fact this should be on the prescribed reading list of every high school as a window on a continent with a different way of life and a different mindset. Welcome to the world of Africa.”
Philip Zozzaro, The San Francisco Book Review
“…The Dung Beetles of Liberia is a fast-paced real-life thriller worthy of an action movie. The story weaves drama, dark comedy, and romance throughout a rich tapestry of narration. Daniel Meier captivates his reading audience with his telling of a wayward youth desiring a sense of purpose in a rapidly downward-spiraling world. This is a great read for all to behold."
Kate Robinson, The US Review
“…With a gift for portraying dialect, character quirks, and the intricacies of combining salient details of his youthful adventures with fictional flights of fancy, Meier flies readers on this soaring, literary saga that will leave them clamoring for a sequel.”
Literary Titan
“…Overall, this story is well worth a read and does a great job in depicting what it would be like in an emerging 3rd world country that is run by dictators who are making obscene amounts of money off the backs of the native people. This is a story that is hard to put down and keeps you on your toes as to what will happen next, right down to the last chapter.”
The Prairies Book Review
“…A fascinating evocation of 1960s Liberia, the novel explores the commonly accepted system of bribery and the arbitrary division between the masses. It will definitely appeal to fans of literary fiction as well as lovers of non-fiction. An engrossing read that is both informative and entertaining.”
