I loved the first half of the book, but had a hard time getting through the second half. Little Bee, a Nigerian girl who escaped her country after a series of horrific killings, ends up in England. The story follows Little Bee from her time in Nigeria to her difficult transition to England; as well as a British couple, whose lives become deeply entwined with Little Bee. A lot of the effectiveness of the book comes from the plot twists, so I'll leave the plot description at that.

In my opinion, the most effective parts of this book were those told in Little Bee's voice, particularly in the first half of the novel. The cadence of her narrative was captivating. I found the second half of the book pretty dang boring. Didn't care much for it at all.

If it weren't for the second half of the book, I'd definitely recommend the book.
