If you enjoy books by this author you will enjoy Nineteen Minutes. You must read Little Bee, it was one of my favorites books.

If you read Lovely Bones, you should give Nineteen Minutes a try. Not a happy story with a happy ending, but it is a story that make you think about life in general.

I thought the book was very readable. I didn't want to put it down once I got into it. Character development is good. I really cared about Little Bee and the others. The plot is not straightforward; there are some twists in the end. As part of the story, I learned some history of Nigeria, so I thought it was well worth reading.

Hi Lady Z,
We discussed LITTLE BEE for our afternoon reading group at the bookshop where I work. Very good discussion. But I really didn't connect with the book. The author shows the reader what it's like for an immigrant living in Britain. I guess I wouldn't have kept reading the book if it weren't for the reading group. Yes, it's well written, but not my "cup of tea".
Happy Reading
