It was okay.
By Lucio Tolentino
I am heading to South Africa this summer for research and I thought I would read this book and gain a better understanding of local politics and social norms. And I did gain some insight into the corruption taking place there, but not on the monumental scale implied by the book description.

Seeing there were no other reviews of the book anywhere (though I admittedly didn't try too hard to find one), I tried other books from the author and their reviews -- and again found nothing. What struck me as odd though was that his other books were philosophical explorations of the universe and God -- seemingly very different from the implied plot of this book. What is the authors area of expertise? Similarly, the plot sounds oddly similar to the "about the author" description. While I racked this up to coincidence, the author in the end somewhat says, "This my life story, but I changed all the names for legal reasons".

The book's plot is straight forward and easily described: A man opens a computer services business in a poor suburb, and consequently has struggles. The story has interesting meta-stories, but were few and far between. By-and-large not much happens. The literary climax happens at the beginning of the book when the main character leaves the bank, and the rest is falling action. The characters weren't developed, but assumed. It was hard to believe that this man all of a sudden had a change of heart and life philosophy -- it seemed to come out of nowhere.

The archetype of man-vs-system was reiterated often, but never produced very interesting results; the authors blatant opinions turned into long winded diatribes against the system, but never offered solutions besides "think for yourself" and "don't be a jerk to people". In all, I agreed with the author, but his points fell flat and weren't that new or exciting.

All that being said, it wasn't bad. It was okay. I feel as though I know a little bit more about South Africa, but my life doesn't feel enriched by the experience (which I think the author was really going for).
