The Death of Rex Nhongo: A Novel di C. B. George
Pretty dismal. I've been on an African reading binge - Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria - and this was the weakest of the lot. The characters are all unlikeable, the plot thin, the pace all wrong...just as it takes a more positive direction towards an interesting denouement, the book just ends. It's as if the editors decided that they had enough of a story at that point. It all ends very abruptly with unlikely outcomes for virtually every character. A disappointment.

Rex Nhongo doesn’t play a big part in the book, but the gun that killed him does. It’s the connecting point for several different lives.

George. I did not. In fact, the only redeeming grace was the short chapters. I usually read a book within a few days, 'The Death of Rex Nhongo' took me 15 days to complete. I'd read a chapter and invariably I would immediately set it down. It was not compelling, not entertaining or enlightening, and I found the story lines were drawn out well past the point of making for interesting reading. I got through it, it was a chore, but I read every last page. Sadly, upon completion the summation of my thoughts on this book was: So what? As time is finite it is helpful to note there are more entertaining stories out there written by more entertaining authors. Don't waste your time on this one....… (altro)
