FINALLY a good fucking read. I love the setting (Nigeria!) and the characters (Aminat!) and the concept (a sinister alien dome!). And the writing is simple yet elegant and has me turning pages and losing time--the hallmarks of a well-crafted story. Also, I'm a SUCKER for the vocabulary. If I read words like "stultifying" and "peripatetic" with regularity, it's pretty much guaranteed that I'm going to keep on reading.
