Little Bee by Chris Cleave
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I got about 1 1/2 chapters in and had to put it down. The descriptions of certain scenes were far more graphic than I thought they would be and honestly just gross. I felt that it was unnecessary to the story. And, the way the male author talks from a female perspective just seems inaccurate. I don't think a women would think some of the thoughts in the same way that he illustrated them. I also looked up some reviews to see if the book would get better and I saw that it probably wouldn't.
