4.0

Definitely a book I could not put down, and a book to be judged by its cover if there ever was one. Portraying a range of colourful characters in a bustling city, it sheds light on a country, a city, its people. I found it easy to read, the short chapters making me want to read more and more and more; as much as I could possibly go through in a day. Full of quotes and ideas that will stay with me for long, this book discussed important topics. Corruption, colonialism, poverty, a system rotten from the inside out, with change hard to be achieved. And yet, the ending was bittersweet. A ray of hope was still shining.
