An incredible mix of realism, fantasy and a crazy plot with a million sub-plots and fasinating yet believable characters. His characters in this book are incredible especially the female protagonist torn between her life as an investment banker/trader and her aspirations to be something more. Then there's her crazy boyfriend with his pet monkey that trained to steal jewellery! And the obese, fortune teller friend who disappears. The whole introduction of the arid, mystical place Timbuktu into the plot is amazing! A definite must-read for anyone that wants an entertaining book that still manages to have you rolling on the floor laughing, and then quickly pick yourself off the floor and sit up and think about the more important things in life.....like how we aspire for better things! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/107966?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
