That's my lovely sister. The humble daughter of a Professor. She really has placed Abba Town (Anambra State) in the map.

#rushes off to google..typing download Americanah epub#

Up Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie.

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

Americanah by Chimananda Ngozi Adichie – 2013 saw a more virulent rash of arrogant, preening foreigners using their book contracts to sling mud ineptly on the culture that made those book contracts possible than it’s seen since the backlash the US incurred by saving the world from Hitler – only this time without the literary talent. Of the many examples of this deplorable trend in 2013, Americanah was by a wide margin the worst, not only for its many blocks of exposition about how racist everything is but for its bloated self-satisfaction that those blocks of exposition are in fact what the book’s paying customers came here for. This last may be right; they certainly didn’t come for plot, character development, or dialogue, all three of which steadfastly remain at the grade school level in this story of a pure-hearted ingenue who emigrates to horrible, racist America (where even the gated academies aren’t truly color-blind, and where no black person could ever dream of being the country’s highest-paid sports celebrity, most-beloved TV star, or, you know, President) and encounters mean people in her quest for a world as perfect as she is.

muktarl: Anambra Ibos are of different species. First it was Achebe and now its Adichie. Congrats Ngozi.

Why do some of you lack shame sometimes.

*spits*

Beyonce effect!

Baby mama:

Loser!

The book is a best seller ,won awards and now a movie
It is a tremendous success
a knock out for decades to come
Made her a household name
The world knows Chimamanda while you are just an insignificant ,fly by night,unknown,gender-less moniker on a local website
Obviously it wasn't meant for blockheads and nonentities

Fatality

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

Argumentum ad hominem.. This review seemed more personal than educational..

ok,i reserve my comment.

lonelydora: A UNN graduate is ahead of you naturally.

no dey come fall our hand here abeg!she's not a UNN graduate.

Congrats

I dont like reading fiction stories.i prefer real life stories

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.

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

for those of you who would like to read and get lost completely in another world of marvel and ecstacy like i did,,well here is the link to download the three books-'purple habiscus,Americannah,half of the yellow sun'
http://www.gallery.mobile9.com/topic/?tp=chima&ty=551

Note-make sure ur phone has an ibuilt ebub reader or you can as well go ahead and download it too.

Has anyone actually read the book? I started and literally got half way but I find myself struggling to finish it for some reason.

Only in Igboland can you see such a thing- a woman who doubles as a medical doctor and a political scientist.

A very talented lady.

A high achiever, from a blessed background and innovative people.

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.

Fantastic!

Restoring the dignity of man for sure!

You go fear famzing.
Stop deceiving yourselves
She's not an alumna of UNN.She only studied there for about a year or so before leaving for The States.
Get your facts straight

help me tell them ooo

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.

UNN is great shaaa.... If not for anything , there gsp 102 course awakens latent writing instincts

Why do Africans always want white acceptance and approval? Neogrpeans.
