ive read the book. theres no denying that shes a promising writer especially when u take her age into consideration, but shes no there yet
a much better book is "ALL good things will come" by some other nigerian female writer. cant recall her name now, a lot more mature than purple hibiscus. both books have similar styles and were released at around the same tome

@Simmy, the name of the book is "Everything good will come". Sefi Atta is the author of the novel

count me in, just got through the book. my impressions here: http://www.traedays.com/blog/2008/03/chimamanda-ngozi-adichies-purple-hibiscus-and-me/

Y'all should also try and get your hands on Half of a Yellow Sun
same author,its simply revealing and intriguing,
about the Nigerian Civil War, it's a great read.
Highly recommended ,

i have always wanted to read this book, i like the author and love the title of this book, but chimamanda is not a friendly woman at all, i contacted her sometimes ago and her responce to me wasnt that good, i thought at first maybe she wasnt a nigerian, how come she was like that? if you gonna sell something like, you have to sell good image and have good traits following you around, you dont just sell books by words alone,what if you were,

She's stated in at least one interview that she is a reserved person. Besides, it's hard to contact a celebrity.

i luv the d book, d plot, setting.it's one d books i'll read over nd over again.

wanville:

wow!!how time flies so the book was published in 2005, dang!!dats 4 yrs ago, I read half of a yellow sun and, its impressive, By God's grace I'll direct a movie and buy the rights to the book, a nollywood movie not hollywood, am the future of nollywood

It was published in 2003

People in the room, my question from the book is that, why did the woman kill her husband at the end? The reason is uncleared to me, though it has been a long time i read. But i will appreciate your responce. Please sorry for diverting your attention, if it does.

read it in my sec sch days.i really loved it.it was wow cause ngozi was on point 2ruout.

she killed him because of all the things he had being bdoin 2 her now.rem he just didnt kill him ons she took dis pill frm her house girl nd had being puttin it n her husbands tea 4 a very long time.i wouldnt say killin was d best thing 2 have done but she endured 4 a very long tym nd she had no choice now.cause her husband is an example of wat yorubas call"she si ta ma she si le"doin father christmas outsude while his house was a barracks beats his wife 4 unreasonable things even his children had no say at home.d turnin point was the children stay at Aunty amaka place if not d man would hav eventually killed d woman,it was just a matter of time b4 dos pregnancy loss due 2 beatings frm her husband.so she had no option now.

the book is xo NYC luv it so mch

I have a personal copy of this beautiful work of art.
there's a good reason why she's called the younger version of chinua Achebe and Buchi emecheta.
