The over-self-indulgent and didactic nature of this book, unfortunately, couldn't let me enjoy it as I had hoped -- I wanted to say the hype is real, but I can't in all honesty.

I have not read a lot of Amharic books (yet) and from what I've read thus far, I can see this book tries to offer something different in the realms of philosophy, psychology, critical thinking and reasoning, self- and other-awareness, epistemology, etc. While this is all well and good, the poorly disguised personal-cum-philosophical thesis within the supposed novel is heavy-handed in a non-heuristic, more like an instructional paper manner. Personally, such writing and book come across as pedantic to me and are not very effective. Of course, this is absolutely a matter of subjective taste, and I'm fully aware that the style and contents of the books may work well for others.

I'll be going into the sequel with hopes for the better!

Meh

[Yohannes Fassika · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a unique book with short but engaging chapters. Simple story lines and conversations raise a number questions on things you simply accept or never imagined to question. Unique perspectives on the day to day activities of Ethiopians.

አንዳንድ መጥቀስ የማልፈልጋቸው ከባህል ያፈነገጡ *እውነታወች* ፤ ትውልድን ከመቅረፅ አንፃር በገደምዳሜው መታለፍ ሲገባቸው ጭራሽ አፅንዖት ሰጥቶ ወደትንተና መግባቱ ቅር አሰኝቶኛል።

Fame is purely promotional; content fails to deliver.

I remember reading this book two years a go. I didn't like the writing style. It's dry and it seems as if the author is plainly speaking, not the characters which spoils the reading. For me it felt like a philosophy book more than a novel or a story. I think the way the author used language to get his message across isn't beautiful.
