I love it when I start reading a book that I simply cannot put down. This was one of those books! The main character, Gregory B, was a fantastic one. I could actually picutre this as being a real person in a real situation. Hey, it would not be a stretch of the imagination that the LA polica arrest someone mistakenly and treat them like gutter trash. Had the story came from an American characters point of view there would have been no story to be told in my opinion. The fact that Gregory B had a sweet naive innocence about him really helped to sell the entire thing. I do wonder how this character really measures up to a real Nigerian immigrant so once I finshed reading it (and the second eposide which I purchased immediatly after I finished the first)I started doing some research on Nigeria and the Nigerian people. I LOVE a book that makes me want to dig deeper into real life and this book did that for me! I am very glad to have a couple of Nigerian people on my Facebook friends list so I can ask them so more questions. I may even loan out the book for them to read so they can give me their point of view on the character and the information contained in the book. If I can get this done I will update my review and share what I learned.UPDATE: I have found a Nigerian man that agreed to read the first book if I could loan it to him! I am assuming that it is very late/early in Nigeria so I expect his email address tomorrow and hope to have some good feedback to share once he has read the story.
