What do you guys think about this book?

I think it is very good and can be compared to any of the best books by Soyinka, Achebe or Amadi?

@ Ibime,

There are other threads for this book and author (more than one). If you had bothered to search, you'd have seen them. There is no need for the duplicity.

Exactly.

A good one no doubt

i'm sure it will b interesting,i will tell u more when i've read d book.

Chimamanda's book is good no doubt, but the sex in it is too much from an original Nigerian perspective,

Yet to read that but Purple Hibiscus is splendid

yeah she did talk about sex, but l think she's only trying to be natural. she was educated abroad after she left U.I half way through her medicine course. she must have been exposed to the blunt nature of writing as we have in the west. Even in her short stories, her depiction of sex organs is direct, as we have in "my mother, the crazy african" were she mentioned a boy handling with her breast. What's more, she's no kid, she's trying to tell it as it is and her fans ain't complaining.
i guess that her style with which she has to be known with. Hence you either accept her for who she is or not.
I think i like her.

I mean University of Ibadan not you I, don't know y d computer changed it. and the character in the short story is not her but Ralindu. Am sorry to have said it as if its a true life story.
