beeellecee 's review for:
What is the What
by Dave Eggers
This is the first fictional autobiography that I have read and also my first experience of Dave Eggers' writing. It tells the life story of Sudanese Lost Boy Achak Deng, also known as Valentino. I enjoyed Eggers' writing style as he described Valentino's journey from a happy childhood in the Sudanese village Marial Bai, to refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya and to the U.S.A. (although not in that order). It was heartbreaking to read about the civil war in Sudan and how it continues to impact upon the Sudanese people.
