Fictional Autobiography. * * *. A young Sudanese boy is forced out of his war-torn homeland and must brave government soldiers, revolutionaries, and hungry animals. The book switches back and forth between his boyhood and current day and shows how his ordeal in Africa shaped his current life and decisions. The first 100 pages were tough because the author references certain names or words and then reuses them later on. Plus, I was never really informed about the struggles in Africa, so learning about the political angle was enlightening, indeed.
