This was... something.  
I picked this book up because I want to read more from local authors, but unfortunately I didn't not enjoy it as much as I was hoping to.
I really enjoyed reading a book with my culture, with places I had been to, with figures of speech, slang, and phrases that I use on a daily basis that never turns up in books I usually read. It was funny reading characters that could've been people I know in real life.
However, I think this book wanted to say much more than it did. I could see where the author wanted to convey something valuable to the reader, but unfortunately it always felt flat, forced, or just very unnatural. The characters and the conversations they had felt very 2D, and lacked credibility. 
This book also would explain certain things or phrases, for people that are not Namibian or South African, but then it would leave double the amount unexplained. Therefore, it is not very accessible to non-Namibians and -South Africans. 
The writing was really not good. I felt that this was directed towards adults, but it felt like reading a children's book that even children would find to lack in depth. 

I am still, however, very glad I read it, and I will definitely always be searching for more books by local authors to read.
