this is one of those books i remember seeing everywhere. we gave it away as a gift to a few people, and i always saw people reading it on the bus and all over. it was a book you saw on desks, but i never read it. i never even really gave it a second thought to be totally truthful. but i am so glad that debbie lent this to me. it was so enjoyable and light and it really made me want to go to africa. the way precious describes her country with such love and vibrance makes it seem like a beautiful place to be (well, that and the way matt and my father described it).
the phrase satisfaction guaranteed for all parties isn't that far off. the book is pretty light, and i would never describe it as challenging, but it is something you would take to the beach, or on the bus in my case, and finish that day thinking 'wow i'm really glad i read that' as opposed to most beach reads which you think 'wow i can't believe i read that whole book'.
i don't really have a ton to say on this one, i may beef up this post later, but i really like this book. its a little shallow, but was really enjoyable!
