I finished The Girl With the Louding Voice today, and this book moved me in ways that a book hasn't in a long time. I'm a high school student in the USA, but even with me being so different than Adunni, I found myself relating to her in so many ways. I also feel like I learned so much more from her story and her pain. The writing of this novel is so beautiful and unique. It is written in broken English at first, which was an adjustment, but it really fit the story, and I felt like I could clearly hear Adunni's voice and thoughts. There was not a single place in the entire book where I was not fully wrapped up in Adunni's story. I really recommend this story to anyone. It can be emotional and graphic at times, but it really brings a personal perspective to deeply important issues.  I feel like my perspective has widened so much. I can't say enough about this book, for sure one my absolute favorite books this year, if not of all time!
