I picked up this book because I didn't know much about Boko Haram and thought a narrative would be a good starting point. I definitely learned a lot and appreciated the extra information in the back on the history, the process of the book being made, and extra resources/ relief efforts. Felt like a teaching tool with a every-person type main character, but that's a stylistic choice. The way the book is broken up makes it easy to understand/ read (if the heavy subject matter doesn't make you pause).
