Great inspiring people; not that cohesive of a story. Chronology slotted above narrative.
Inspiring stories and learned a lot about Maasai culture. Great read
Interesting coming of age study in a time of upheaval and transition. Wonderful to have an inside view of the Maasai culture through these boys eyes. Loved the retellings of their traditional stories. After reading this I feel confident they will be positively impacting their contemporaries.
Read this while I was volunteering on a medical mission working with the Maasai. It was a valuable resource while in Kenya to learn about the tribe I was working with.
Powerful, simple. The stories are carefully chosen, the moments given just the right weight. Recommended.
Really interesting thoughts on Maasai culture and the inevitable push of Westernization.
