I m really glad to have been introduced to Julius Agwu but I didn t really enjoy this book and skipped through some bits of it It feels very unedited and the writing is very ordinary Way too many paragraphs start with Now There is no overarching goal or purpose to the story really just a list of event after event It s like someone telling you their life story at a dinner party because they can t stop talking about themselves but you kinda wish they would ebook This was a somewhat difficult read for me but I have to say it s the first autobiography from Nigeria that I ve ever read I think some of the difficulties I encountered were to do with my perspective middle class white Australian and not familiar with Julius Agwu s work than with the actual book I do think it could have been edited with a firmer hand but I think it s meant to be a very relaxed and conversational style If you are a fan of Agwu s you may really enjoy it Again I think cultural differences may play a big part in my rating for this book as I have no idea if this style including the testimonials that form the second half of the book is the standard in Nigeria Overall Agwu comes across as a hard working determined man who has done and continues to do a lot of good for his community ebook
