Christine N. reviewed on 1/26/2006 + 11 more book reviews

I read this quite awhile ago so cannot really remember the details of the story line. In essence, it is about a young boy growing up in Africa and what it is like to live (and struggle to live) there. He ends up helping a drug dealer at some point to make some fast money and the story line is riveting. Chris Abani is an AMAZING author and if you love fine literature, you should definitely consider giving him a chance. He is currently in exile due to death threats from his home country if that gives you any idea of his genious.
