„‚But guns, on the other paw, are—I'm a guns animal by my very nature as everbody knows,‘ General Judas Goodness Reza said, holding an imaginary gun, eyes shining.“ Eine politische Geschichte im Stil von „Animal Farm“ klang vielversprechend, war mir aber mit seinen Wiederholungen, ohne dass etwas passiert, zu anstrengend. Abbruch nach etwa 100 Seiten.

Einfach nicht spannend verpackt. Charaktere nicht souverän, Anspielung auf politische Situation in Simbabwe
Der Schreibstil war schon nicht meins, dazu plätschert die Story nur vor sich hin. Es gibt keine Steigerung, es bleibt auf der flachen Kurve oder eher darunter. Grundsätzlich lese ich gerne kulturelle und politische Bücher über Afrika, aber das war ein Reinfall. Schade.
