A Book Review

The story of a man who will truly get under your skin and crawl deep into your nerves. He unbelievably fails and somehow still keeps on falling. Oh, how livid he made me.

He lives in deceit ,covers himself in lies, lives in those lies until he buries himself in them.

He is an idiot, this man Samora. And somehow it’s still an understatement to call him that.

This is not the book with the happy ending and a forever happy ever after. It is one filled with pain and struggle and lies. Full of suffering.

Biko says ‘This is not a story about redemption, sacrifice or any of those things we want to read about.

This is about the idiocy and working one’s way between a rock and a wife.’

I have said here before that biko would write a blank book and i would read it. He could write of a rock or a pen and i will read that book like my life depends on it.

His writing is impeccable and beautiful and nothing short of intriguing.

The book is such an easy and beautiful read and you can easily get through it in a day or two.

A good first read of 2024!

4.5/5 ⭐️
