Little Bee

Here's a typical night at our house.

Melanie:  (Reading book on the couch).

Will: Dork.

I am not a dork, I just love to read :)   Will reads all day for his job, so of course he doesn't want to read at night.  Dork or not, lucky for you I read because I can steer you clear of really bad books or let you know about books you must buy.  My latest read is a great book, but I'm not too sure how the ending sits with me yet:  Little Bee by: Chris Cleave.

This book is beautifully written and intriguing.  I think I read the whole book in about 24 hours and only put it down when I had to. 

Below is the summary, courtesy of Chris Cleave:

WE DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS BOOK.It is a truly special story and we don't want to spoil it.Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this:It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific.The story starts there, but the book doesn't.And it's what happens afterward that is most important.Once you have read it, you'll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don't tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds.

Doesn't provide much, does it?  Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think about the ending.
