Review: Love at First glance - I absolutely loved this book. It gave me the real perspective on life and marriage in Senegal and let me really know how the people truly behave and how dangerous the women really are. Never trust a big butt and a smile. I feel sorry for anyone that is not Senegalese that is married to one because this book gives you the real deal-straight with no chaser.
Review: Very good story!! - I had to read this book for a class in college. I enjoyed it very much!!
