Emotionally moving, Historically Awakening
Recommended read for those interested in great storytelling that combines a historical account of Nigeria with an analysis of race, colonialism, war, friendship, struggle, and love.

Enjoyable and illuminating
I was not familiar with this author and took a chance. I'm glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed this memoir of a Nigerian writer who migrates to America. It's well-written, often funny, and always illuminating -- exploring the differences and similarities between Nigeria and America and between Nigerians and Americans.

Not my favorite memoir by far
The narrator has confidence that crosses the line to arrogance. An American who seeks to change the customs of a country would be called an “ugly” American. What do you call a Nigerian who comes to America with that mindset? The diction is”florid” as one friend said. Lots of impressive Nigerian writing these days. This isn’t a good example. Repetitive in places.

A brilliant book by a brilliant writer
Okey is brilliant, and his observations are really amazing. I loved this book and seeing it reviewed on TV before I bought it. Highly recommended!

Excellent reading
Few Americans consider what newcomers experience before they arrive here. Okey paints that picture and entertains us at the same time.
