An earlier reviewer commented that Teens would love this, that is true -- but like Harry Potter -- it is not a "teen" book. I've traveled to South Africa and picked this book up there. It is a universal story of coming of age, dealing with lifes troubles and turmoils, the "drama" that we all go through in puberty...Very funny. Great charachters. You will really enjoy it, and especially if you have any interest in South Africa.
It is set in Durban, in the early 90s. Just as Mandela was being released from prison but before he was President. A very interesting take, and funny, on how some of the folks in the country were dealing with this very real change in their world.
