This is really nice. Congratulations to her. But for balance, Americanah was on some worst of the year lists too.

This woman is overrated IMHO. I couldn't pick up half of a yellow sun to save my life and I just feel all her works are recycled. She lacks originality in my eyes. |
Re: Chimamanda Adichie's 'Americanah' Tops BBC's Top 10 Books Of 2013 by kraftykc(m): 3:40pm On Dec 20, 2013 |
Oh yeah, I will categorically state now that Adichie does not represent me or my Igbo identity. She is Nigerian and is a product of NIGERIA. This is a triumph for all Nigerians that support her (not to mention her worldwide audience which is significantly higher). No need for peeps to come and start claiming village-mate with national symbol |

Ranchhoddas: no dey come fall our hand here abeg!she's not a UNN graduate. You may nt believ this, but thats jxt d truth. She studied Medicine & Pharmacy in UNN (she use to edit sch magazine then). The dad waz a Prof in Statistics dept, the mom waz 1st female registrar. I Will Never Forget This Her Talk:: (use to listen to that in Lion Fm), ''THE DANGER OF A SINGLE STORY'' by Chi..... Adichie (plz watch dat in youtube or download, quite interesting & knowledgeable |

Egba girl: Has anyone actually read the book? I started and literally got half way but I find myself struggling to finish it for some reason.I believe the obvious reason is that you lack the level of intellect required to appreciate such books. I recommend you stick to the Macmillan series. 4 Likes |

kingthreat: Can't read any of her books. Wasted my time reading half-way of Half of a Yellow Sun. A Biafran apologist like her mentor Chinua Achebe.The same Chinua Achebe said and I quote 'If you don't like my story, write yours'. So, if you don't like her story, pen yours let's see if you can muster even a soul to skim through it. Dude, out with the bad blood, it will do you no good. 1 Like |
