I Ioved how Marv made us fall in love with Adejoba within few minutes of the story and how realistic the world he lived was.
Marv totally nailed it! He made Adejoba feel like a real person I knew. The world he created was so vivid, it was like I was actually there. I could picture everything so clearly. It's crazy how real it felt!
