Not sure if it left me with strong feelings. Stands out mostly for me because it exists which makes me very happy. Having read some of her interviews about it I'm not sure it's supposed to do more than just answer a what if (what if aliens landed in Lagos), but I guess part of me wishes that it did. I think my biggest gripe is the fact that the fantastical elements really didn't go anywhere. Religion played such a strong role in the book, to have the gods appear but not do anything more than acknowledge them was a bit of a let down, though in some regard it wouldn't fit into the story she was telling. Feel sort of the same way about the three. I mean you have gods, aliens and mutants all in one book and yet somehow it ends up not being 'about' any of them, and all of them actuallly serve more as literary devices of what she was realy doing which was giving a modern peek of life in Lagos. which is where it succeeds incredibly, enough to make me not really care that the other elements were lacking. So as a novel it's great. As a sci-fi/fantasy novel for me it was decent.
