I thought this was really good and/but it was primarily interesting. As in, it asks you to take an interest and to invest brain power to piece together the different strands of the narrative and story and characters. Personally, I loved that aspect of the story the best - but I realize that this might be off-putting to some.

After you get over how disappointing this book is, it can be kind of funny. I mean, Habila compares the plight of Nigerians exploited and ruined by the greed of oil companies to ....... the people looking for dry land in "Waterworld." Seriously? Yes. http://chamberfour.com/2011/06/09/review-oil-on-water/
