Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth

This book is another case of 'badly-blurbed book'. I knew nothing about the book or its author and went just by the blurb when I chose it. The blurb, however, does not do the book any favors. It has spoilers, for instance, that reach far into the novel. And it misses the central theme of the book. Also, this book - and it is a GOOD book, imho, - takes time. It makes slow reading unless you are familiar with Nigerian / African contemporary culture. If you are willing to invest this time, the story is quite something.

Couldn’t finish. I listened to this as an audio book, and 6 hours in (out of 22!) there was still no clear direction in the plot — the author was just building up the main characters, I think — and it just couldn’t sustain my interest.
