riveting reading
I bought this book a few months ago, Iwas riveted from the first line. Very good reading, excellent writing by this young author. I looked for other books by this author and found Half A Yellow Sun which was even better than Purple Hibiscus. I learned a lot about Nigeria and the civil war. I also learned some nigerian words. Great great writing by this young author.

The best novel I've ever read!
Several times while reading I was brought to the point of tears, clutching the book to my chest and kept looking at the author's picture on the back of the book because I couldn't believe that someone so young could harness such brilliance. A true tour de force! Don't miss this one! P.S. Anyone who criticizes the author's craftmanship is a nincompoop and deranged lunatic. Totally ignore them.
