It's a great book so far, I wasn't expecting this book to be how it is now, in a good way. It really shows the way a West African colony works. The main character, Kunta, has already become a man, after the manhood training of Juffure village in The Gambia. In the chapter I just finished, Kunta was captured by the toubub or "white men" while on a routine hunt for breakfast, and now he is being tortured by them.
