A review by ab_1996
The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri

dark emotional hopeful sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I am really glad that I read this book and I think the author did a really good bringing this subject to light because its something that is all over the news and its "normal" but its not, its disgusting the life's that these people live, a bomb coming through their roof, walking down the street and seeing body's floating in rivers. Not remaining the last time you had a shower.

I feel that some of the traumatising things that happen to the characters we've skimmed over and the emotion was added to the story. But I did love how the author had written Afras character, how she had no emotion and I think that when somebody has been through so much they become numb.

I was disappointed by the ending. I almost feel like it was rushed.
