4.5

 Goliath is not an easy read. Onyebuchi takes his time with weaving all the pieces of the story together, and he leaves it up to the reader to fully map out what this near apocalyptic future looks like. That being said, Goliath is a book that has a big pay off by the end. It is intelligent, deep, political, brutal, beautiful, and honest all mixed together. I can see why some people will bounce early on with this book, but for those readers who do not mind a little hard work. stick with it. It is worth it.
