The derelict house in Shepherd's Bush that Moses takes on becomes the scene for a topsy-turvy, irreverent sequence of events. The account of his attempts to cope with situations, together with a penchant for early wholesome philosophizing, form the basis of this book.
Good book capturing the essence of an average Joe (or Moses)

"Moses Ascending" chronicles an everyday black Englishman who rises to mild affluency after buying his own building and becoming a landlord. A guy who was originally a regular working man suddenly starts thinking of himself as a big deal... and tries to dabble in the sort of things that a big deal should do. However, without spoiling anything, he leaves himself too open to influence... ultimately revealing that perhaps he hasn't really changed at all.Its an enjoyable book... a good amount of good humor to keep you entertained while enough plot to keep you interested. (I know this review is a little weak but I'm more of a music reviewer and.. hey, SOMEBODY had to review this)
