I say this in a number of reviews but I found the writing to be like my teen-aged self. However this time I found it cute and charming. I didn't dislike this how I disliked Chinua Achebe's trilogy, and I know I shouldn't be comparing them, but it just makes me think I really need to read more modern books by African authors. The classics just aren't that great. :/
