It is very difficult to write or review a book written by someone else about such personal struggles especially when it is written in such an honest manner.
The author is trained as a creative writer and is well versed in American (read the book and you will figure out what i mean) law but his education in quite a number of countries and in varied languages put him in a unique position to write and describe his experiences.
The first thing i thought about after reading a few pages of the book was access to rights to a movie. It is written in very descriptive lanugage and Yosiya’s skill in this regard is unmatched. It is a mixture of several ideas and has you moving from Uganda to West Africa to Europe as well as the United States. It is an exploration of deep pain and the work it takes to navigate through this pain into recovery. It is a book about the struggle to get it right and the battle to learn as you grow. It is a lecture about American life in high school and college from parties to clubs to life in the city to wrong turns. It is a glimpse into race, education, bits and pieces of incarceration and more. It even gives you some insights into the law and how it works and the justice system. The book is also about relating to God and understanding human behavior. It is groundbreaking in that it also captures some of the most modern media tools into a three in one.
While there are many different tools that can help readers who are struggling with addiction the book is also a great resource for those who want to explore the human mind and some of the theories that exist about this area…at least those that Mr. Lwanga has chosen to share with us.
