## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Emotionally moving, Historically Awakening
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017*

Recommended read for those interested in great storytelling that combines a historical account of Nigeria with an analysis of race, colonialism, war, friendship, struggle, and love.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Enjoyable and illuminating
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023*

I was not familiar with this author and took a chance. I'm glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed this memoir of a Nigerian writer who migrates to America. It's well-written, often funny, and always illuminating -- exploring the differences and similarities between Nigeria and America and between Nigerians and Americans.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Not my favorite memoir by far
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2018*

The narrator has confidence that crosses the line to arrogance. An American who seeks to change the customs of a country would be called an “ugly” American. What do you call a Nigerian who comes to America with that mindset?  The diction is”florid” as one friend said. Lots of impressive Nigerian writing these days. This isn’t a good example. Repetitive in places.
