Stick it out - it gets better.
Revisado: 07-10-21
I feel like I didn’t like this book until about halfway through it because it seemed really graphic and dramatic and strange. But I’m glad I stuck it out because about halfway through the book the story gets really interesting and the characters develop a lot. The main character goes through the most development and is such a strong character that you just want to win. The narration is really intense. At first I thought it was over dramatized, but then realized the narrator is incredibly talented. A deep story about family, identity, and belonging.

Told from the point of view of nine-year-old Benjamin, the youngest of four brothers, The Fishermen is the Cain and Abel-esque story of an unforgettable childhood in 1990s Nigeria, in the small town of Akure. When their strict father has to travel to a distant city for work, the brothers take advantage of his extended absence to skip school and go fishing.

Pretty Dark
Revisado: 02-07-21
I really liked the first half of the book - it kept me interested and the narrator is exciting and light-hearted. Then the book takes a turn and it becomes one distressing, tragic event and description after the other. Personally, I can’t deal with distressing media. I think the story was great, but for people like me, it’s kind of a lot; I wish I knew it was so dark. From the book description, it doesn’t seem like it’s a very dark story - but it is. Great narrator! So engaging.
