And another thing…I am offended by the liqour and shopping comment. I much preferred the flashing and Panty Palming. Plus, I was a writer…not a proper delegate…if you’ll recall. Though I did enjoy Spain.

Though my private reading time is nearly non-existence, it does make me want to explore this book. Yet, the last thing I need is another downer at present.

I look forward to a future review of a more positive read.

Now, I just have to say something about HeyYou and TheHusband (aka–to me anyway–MySon1), what wonderfully gifted-with-the-writing-process these two book reviewers are! Of course, I am once again biased. But, I have had little opportunity to read what MySon1 has written and I am blessed to have a glimpse of what’s going on in that noble mind of his.

Well, again I digress…this is about the book not the reviewers. So, thanks for the warning of the hard realities in the book.

I have to say that if you are simply looking for a good read, this probably isn’t for you. But, if you want a book that will educate and fill you with compassion and empathy for others less fortunate, then you should most definitely read this book. I never learned about the atrocities committed in Africa like this, it’s not something they teach in public schools, and even in college it gets skipped because you’re only required to take European history, not African….a great disservice to the populace I assure you.

I could go on and on, but don’t take my word for it, check it out…..and yes, I know that sounds like Levar Burton from Reading Rainbow, and yes, it was my intent .
