I listened to the audiobook for this and it was just beautifully read by Prentice Onayemi, it definitely enhanced my experience reading this book. This was overall very enjoyable and an interesting story that I never really knew where it was going. Following the economic crisis in 2008 through the perspectives of two families, a white family working on a Wall street and an immigrant Cameroonian family who work for them was a unique angle to tell this story and it kept me interested.
