review:
This book is really well written, as one would expect from Dave Eggers, and also heart-rendingly sad and touching.

It's a painful and painstaking look at the true life of a Sudanese refugee, a detailed personal glimpse at the kind of life that is usually just part of the flood of bad news statistics we see every day.
