I really wanted to like this book. I have only ever heard rave reviews about Little Bee, but as I was reading it I kept thinking, surely they're mistaken! 
 The first 50 pages are boring, repetitive, and lacking in everything. I found myself wanting to tell Little Bee or Sara to get with the program and start the story already. It was a lot of "if I were explaining this back home" and retelling the same part of the story for three chapters, three very long chapters. 
 After a while they got on with it and told the story. From there there were parts where I thought ok now it's going to get good. The talk between Little Bee and Lawrence got me pretty excited, I thought I was going to start loving it and just be one of those books that starts slow, but that feel through. 
 After the London beach bit it went fast, much easier to read, but it wasn't believable, it wasn't enjoyable, it was just a let down of an ending to a rather boring book. 
 I could have thought of (and did think of) about 200 different endings to this book that could have been a million times better and still kept the flow of the story so I'm pretty disappointed with that. I do realize that I like happy ending books better than non happy ending ones, but I can still enjoy the latter and I did not enjoy this one at all.
