Book Review of The Secret Life of Bees

The Secret Life of Bees
Psych4kids avatar reviewed Must read! on + 7 more book reviews


I just completed this book in two days. The author paints a picture so clearly with her picturesque speech. I was transported back to the turmoil of the mid-60's civil rights conflict. It was painful to relive some of the horror that was during that time, however, I believe it necessary to recall the details and lament lest we forget. Laced throughout the painful, poingent reminder is a strong spiritual element that was comforting and encouraging. I highly recommend this book and am hoping my 15 year old will read it next. When she does I plan to see if the movie did it justice.
