This is an endearing story, a story of compassion, survival, dedication, friendship, family, love, with an added dose of history (of South Sudan). I was deeply moved.
This is not about basketball. Basketball is a diversion, and in that sense, it is a pity that it covers so much of the book. If you enjoy basketball, specially competitive college basketball with all that it entails, you’ll enjoy even more this novel. However, most of the time I got lost in the esoteric, detailed, description of each play, in each game. I got lost in the jargon. Just too much detail that didn’t add to the story. A diversion. But clearly one written by someone passionate about the sport.
Having said that, you should read the novel, whether or not you enjoy basketball.
