My Final Thoughts
I kind of liked the book, but it was not a favorite. I just don’t think that I would have read it on my own. I there were times when I felt lost, because I thought it was a bit jumpy, and some topics brought up seemed to be randomly put in spots. Yes, they were explained better in other chapters, but still I felt like some chapters were starting in the middle of the story, and later explained better in other chapters. I think the reason why I it was a little bit hard for me to get into was because I am a fantasy, mystery and horror reader, not a nonfiction reader. It just doesn’t interest me, but like a history class does.

Wow! you did it! I wasn't sure if you were going to finish the blog on time, but somehow you managed!!!
Keep in mind the book was written by an African writer. English was not his 1st lanaguage, and he learned it so that he could tell the west about African culture.
The book gives us an insider's view on W. African tribal customs. It is not something I really expect students to "Love" per se, but it does help you understand Africa better, which is one reason I assigned the book.
Reading books is like going to the ice cream store and picking out various flavors and blends. Some you like, some you don't. But at least you tried something new. That's Education.
Nice Blog, I enjoyed reading it. I'll put your grade up on Edline.
