Little Bee
by Chris Cleave
There was so much hype around how extraordinary this book is, and yet it was such a let down. I never found myself connected to the characters, I found it completely unbelievable that Little Bee was simply arrested for standing there when the police arrived to help find Charlie, and words cannot describe how completely frustrating and annoying I found Sarah to be as a mother, a wife, and most of all as a woman. Truly in what universe do you take your 4 year old son to place that changed the entire course of your life forever with terror and pain, and just assume that he will be safe and protected, that armed soldiers will not start shooting at him down the beach? Unbelievable. In addition, I found nothing hilarious about this story and I think the editor and book jacket did the story a disservice by the way in which it is spun.
