What Is The What

Hope you're not getting tired of book reviews.

What Is The What by Dave Eggers is definitely one of the best books I've read this year. It's the story of a displaced Sudanese boy refugee who is brought for resettlement to the United States. It is a true story. Don't miss that single description: It is a true story.

The journey Achak Deng (the lead character) takes across Africa and then to the United States is heart-breaking, heart-warming and at all times gripping. For me personally, I continue to have my eyes opened to the reality of much of the rest of the world.

Perhaps we're all journeying to discover what is the what?
