"I picked up your book intending to glance at the first
few pages...
Next thing I knew, I had read half of it! It is just delightful!"
"I keep reading little parts of your book over and over
again on the
subway to work and it really is quite good."
"Not many people can strike such a fine balance between
insightful observations and ridiculous stories involving goat heads."
"By the way I read your book in two days...really funny
and interesting !
I couldn't stop. And I'm not saying that your book
was excellent just to be kind! I really mean it!"
"I'm almost finished your book and am really really
enjoying it."
"You've done such a great job at describing the place and
customs."
"I read your book; that is a brilliant piece of work with
great sense of humor;
as I was reading I laughed my lungs out! - bravo!"
"Thanks for sending the book!!!! it's amazing!!!"
"I read the first half of the book nonstop on the flight
home with a beaming smile
from ear to ear – I absolutely devoured it! I can’t count the number of
times it made
me throw my head back and laugh out loud...Got to the point where, near the
end of the 1hr flight,
two flight attendants asked me what I was reading, because apparently
“they’d been watching me go nuts over this book the whole flight”!
Through a Canadian’s eyes, your energy is as incredible as what you
witnessed in the children, Mamas, and countless others in Tanzania.
Thanks for writing this book."
"Your book is fantastic......we just finished a week long
conference/project with all the
grade 11's on Food Security. The students were divided in 17 different
country
groups and I was in charge of Tanzania and we used your book extensively
and the kids thought it was great......thanks again!"
"The book was a great read."
"I read your book, and, of course, thoroughly enjoyed
it...while I was
reading it I couldn't help but feel like you were grinning and telling
the story over a table at Mcmullen's (or some other suitable
pseudo-Irish pub in Waterloo). Your storytelling is very similar in
both cases, and brought back some good memories..."
"You make me think. As does your book. I read it. And it
was both funny and
eye opening."
