What I liked least about this book was what I wanted as well: the need to over-describe things. Sometimes, I felt like the scene could have been shortened.

Apart from the pacing everything in this book is perfect for me. The characters are well developed.

I feel like the pacing was a little slow in the beginning of the book.

I really appreciated this book but I noticed that the authors tend to describe the physical appearance especially of female characters in a very detailed manner that could be a bit overdoing. While most of the male characters were described by their strength, a great many of the women appeared to be portrayed in quite a sexualized manner which did not always appear to be justified.

What I liked least about the book was the tone that was employed in the book. The tone did not fit in with the settings and activities of the book perfectly. However, that is just a minor thing. It is what I liked least about the book though.

I have been to Lagos a couple times and from reading the book it wasn't portrayed 100% accurately.

The least part i like was the way female characters were portrayed sexually, It felt as if the author took time to vividly express each body feature compared to the male characters.

What I liked least about the book was the tone. I also like how the female characters were shown in a sexual way; it seemed like the author focused more on describing their bodies than those of the male characters.

I haven’t really thought about this until now, in the thought of this question, I don’t think I do have anything I disliked, even though it seemed a little slow paced, I think I prefer it that way than a rush.
