@Muganda, I still haven't found the book. Have bn to two bookshops and they don't have it. I'm very keen on reading it though.

Ooops! late to the party today - what a day... Now now, all is forgiven so full steam ahead.

@gathinga, please join the party
@Jacy26, picked up the book at Text Book Centre. Also try Prestige in town or BookPoint
@Leona, understood
@kissedxx, @murren, @Zakumi, @tony stark Woooyeeee; me I just see you discussing politics tu

So we need to decide, should we make a new pick then we all start or do you want us to wait and you pick up the same book?

An excerpt of Daddy ROTF
"On the ground were two coloured women. They were locked in battle. And the crowds were making bets as to who would win. Most of them favoured the thin dark woman who looked like an Indian. Lena they called her. The fat pale one they called Drunk Liz and they didn’t seem to like.
The fat one was on top, sitting on the chest of the little one. But the little one had her by the hair and was pulling. And tears were flowing from the fat one’s eyes and her neck was pulled backward by the straining tug at her long brown hair.
‘Pull! Pull them out, Lena’ Daddy shouted, and rolled into the gutter with excitement.
The little one pulled. The fat one loosened her grip on the little one’s throat and fell back. As she tumbled over her dress went up and her pale flesh showed.
Xuma turned his eyes away.
The crowd roared. Daddy lay cackling in the gutter and kicking his feet in the air.
Tears streamed from his eyes.
[color=red]……..Daddy could not contain himself and rubbed his head against the pavement[/color]. Again the crowd roared."

Now that is what i call word play.

@bkismat, interesting tit-bits. How far are you in the book and what's your basis for choosing it? Wondering whether I should jump into your band-wagon.

Also it may be better to start a thread with the book title, for posterity and so we can chew together if I catch up...

@muganda why dont you choose a business autobiography like njenga karumes? or something more pulsating like dan browns lost symbol..
some of these african writers remind of high sch and bore me stiff

"african writers bore me stiff"

@digitek1, appreciate your patience. I let the post simmer to see if we got more takers. All welcome of course - let's review a Kenyan 'boy'.

@leona and I will get our copies and hopefully we can exchange some ideas, on a separate thread, later in the week.

Of course, this would only give @bkismat time to complete Mine Boy and the two Adichie books Then we can link up on the next one.
