Book Review

I would give this book 4/5

It's a beautiful portrait of words about his life and growing up and learning.

Laye captures the wonderful things of his life, he shows a depth of the community, traditions, cultures and society.

Each chapter was a chapter where you learned something new about him, and with each chapter you felt as if you, yourself had watch him grow into a man.

Laye highlights his transitions from being a boy into being an adult and shows you all the things that happened in between.

I enjoyed the book because I know that someday I would be able to relate, because we all grow up and we have to let go at some point and its hard, but we still go through with it and accept new challenges that come our way and with every experience comes a lesson from it.
