I have never written a review before so this will definitely not be a traditional review. But I really need to tell you about this ebook! First because I know the guy who wrote it and he's been asking (read begging) me to write about it so that he can become a slightly richer guy. And then, because you have to read this ebook.
Why? Because this book is about you. I know the author of the ebook may not know you or the story of your life. But he is human and he may know a thing or two about humanity that you can definitely relate to. The reason that I believe that this novel is for you is at one point in your life you must felt left out, alienated from a group of people, be it because of your colour, gender, name, freakish tendencies or just because this group decided it didn't like you. So at one point in your life you have felt or been the other, an anomaly in a people or a group of people. And I believe this is what Ras Mengesha seeks to examine in his ebook. He says that The Other Experiment is an experimental "novel" that uses mixed media to "interrogate otherness" in our society.
I believe at one point or another we have felt like the other in our society or we know someone who has been ostracized for being different. So we can all somehow relate to the contents of this ebook. Then again, we can question our society and our personal prejudices against the Other. And hopefully we can seek ways to change what we don't like to see in our society. We can stop being silent about the atrocities that take place to the Other. The Other Experiment, has the power to change how we see our world and motivate us to make it a better place.
So I would definitely advice to get a copy of this ebook. It's very affordable, just 200 shillings! Trust me, it will be the best 200 bob you will spend this month.
