I began reading the book without full understanding of what it would be about. All I knew was what the cover had said about two women affecting each other's lives and how one had done something really terrible for or to the other. With that being said, after reading it, I can't say that it is my favorite book. I enjoyed learning some things about Nigeria and also about the way illegal immigration is handled in England. I thought being inside Little Bee's head was very interesting. But honestly, the ending of the book left me a bit cold. I didn't feel like the book ended in any kind of hope. All the characters involved in the story were seriously flawed human beings. And in that, they didn't all deserve any sort of happily ever after. But I think it is human nature to read a book ending and to want to know that everyone is okay at the end. It doesn't have to be happy. It just needs to be okay. Little Bee didn't allow me to know that our main characters would be okay. In fact, I would expect the next chapter to be full of the horrors that happened to our main characters.
