I like the idea of being a third person in a dialogue. It seems like a unique concept.

It was interesting to be given an opportunity to agree or disagree with an author.

This is an interesting review. It seems the author put a lot of thought and research into producing this work. As a Nigerian following the current trends in the country, while I do not agree that the governmental inadequacies can result in actual extermination of the Black race at this present time, I think the author has good reason to draw attention to the steady decline of the country's place among other African nations. It appears the "Giant of Africa" has done away with the "G.i." and is now left with "ant." Thanks for the seamlessly written review.
