Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight : An African Childhood

I finished this book the other night. It's called "Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight : An African Childhood". I liked it.

Alexandra Fuller writes about her life growing up in Africa. One of the things I like about it is that her family is the same 'generation' as mine. What I mean is, she was born in '69 and her sister is a few years older than her. This is about the same as me and my sister. She has family pictures spread throughout the book and it's odd, seeing these pictures that remind me of my own family pictures but twisted. For instance, in none of the pictures of me as a 10 year old am I holding an Uzi.

It's not a terribly hard read. I think I read it in a couple of days. The reading is light but sometimes the subject matter is kind of rough. She lived through the Rhodesian Civil War, which was pretty unpleasant.
