I was fooled into thinking that Kola Boof was the "next big thing" when I read all the positive reviews on this site so I purchased this book. What a mistake. Now that I think about it, I find it odd that nearly all of the glowing reviews of this book are from "readers" who only have one review to their name. It leads me to wonder if many of the reviews here are being written by the same person."Flesh and the Devil" showed a lot of promise at the beginning but the story starts to fall apart almost immediately. Kola Boof had a very good idea with this novel of two Afrians whose love trancends many generations but she just doesn't have the talent to properly execute the idea into a coherent enjoyable story. To be perfectly honest, by the time the story got to modern day America, I had completely lost interest. The characters are one dimensional and the plot is just plain silly. The longer it goes on the more unreadable it becomes.
