This was such a fun book to read. I could see it all playing out in my head like I was watching a film — this should be a film!! — and I chuckled out loud, even in public, several times!
Some things seemed a little bit repetitive or unnecessary — take the main character's obsession with a certain part of his wife's body... — but then again this is satire, so I guess being over the top is part of that?
Obviously, anything set in Nigeria has a soft spot for me!
This is definitely the most fun, funny, and entertaining of the 15 Jacaranda books I've read so far and I'll be surprised if any of the remaining 5 beat it on that respect.
