I felt like I had to re-read this book after half-heartedly reading it in high school.

Pros:
Better than I remember.
A lot to be learned from the book.
Well written and great poetry/songs within it.
A book about Nigeria by a Nigerian author.

Cons:
Constantly upset while reading because of the main character.
Pretty dry in Part 1 (picks up in Part 2 and 3).
The novel will constantly drag on for a bit then have an important plot point casually stated in a sentence.
