I'll preface this by saying that I really wanted to like this book because I have been a fan of Kamau's other work like The United Shades.

However, it this novel just really did not work for me. It lacked humorous moments (to be clear, maybe it's not his job/point to make us laugh through this book, but I was expecting at least some witty sentences or humorous thoughts) and I had a difficult time drudging my way through the book. It's somehow too long, yet not detailed enough about the situations that are actually of interest to the reader.
