LOVE or DREAMS

5 Stars for me! Extremely invigorating! A fast & Easy Read I really enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. The journey of an ambitious young boy, James, who risks his life for the future_Love and_Dreams. While reading the book I felt Anxiety & Fear . How the story/series of events developed across the chapters! at some point the plots got darker than expected. There were moments I had a perfect mixture of everything: funny, sad, witty, scary, saudade, pleased, wounded! All sorts of emotions! Isaac, James & Mzee Kazuu, stood out for me .The Braveness, resilient and determination. However, there are definitely deep questions around our CULTURE(African Culture) that rose across the chapters. How well do we understand/know our CULTURE? Favorite Excerpt: "Don't allow life's obstacles to bring you down. And when they do bring you down, and you find yourself lost, Crawl and Stand up. Don't ever stay down. Keep moving. Pg. 211. Overall, I liked this read. I raced to the end. Was desperately sad to have finished reading it. This is an incredible story that is absolutely well worth the read. Highly recommended.
