I think the best way I can describe my reading experience with this book was charming, from the anecdotes regarding his name to the stories about his father's war time friend there is an air of eagerness and charm about Mr. Ndibe's writing. The structure of the book just seemed to randomly change at one point where I'd almost say it went from memoir to essays didn't bother me too much but if you're looking for a story with a clear arc this might not be it for you.
