The Peace Corpse- Misadventure in Love and Africa by Andy Christofferson is a true story of a 22 year old man joining the Peace Corps and his life in Tanzania. He is filled with dreams of making a difference, escaping his old life and getting laid. Not necessarily in that order.I enjoyed and laughed at the predicaments he continually got himself into. Andy is also a master of the F bomb. You will also learn some useful Swahili terms and a few not so useful ones. I'll keep repeating that this is a funny read.Andy Christofferson takes you on a not so kind look at the Peace Corps and life in a poor country in Africa. The story is a bit slow in places but overall I found it to be a funny enlightening read.In the end the reader will see the importance of the Peace Corps and the good work of many of the people who give two years of their life to make a difference. This work includes the good work Andy did while in Tanzania.The Peace Corpse is well written and edited and I would recommend it as a good and funny read.
