As for the book itself, I believe everyone enjoyed it, no one had any strong complaints or found themselves cursing having to read it. It's a pleasant story of a school kid and his family, who have moved to England from Ghana and the trials and tribulations that face them integrating into English society. There are moments that make you laugh out loud, and also lots of food for thought with regards to the society we live in and how knife/gun culture has an impact on even young children.
For me personally, I found the book very enjoyable, I would recommend it to others, but didn't feel it topped The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, so I'll give it 4 stars on the Manchester Book Group scale.
Details of our next meeting are on the left, please note the venue hasn't been confirmed yet, but it'll be somewhere in the City Center, we are just waiting to see what offers are available for next month.
