Chimamanda Adichie, her novels are so real, but I think purple hibiscus and Americanah is my best tho. She explains every details in her novels, she is damn good.

This is good. I've seen that book countless times and always wanted to read it but the volume scares me. l would definitely watch the movie when it's released.

Love dt book to bits, i've read it like 3 times already, sounds weird I knw bt dt's me wen I love a book. Loved Half of a yellow sun too bt d movie didn't cover most important parts of d book, so I still prefer d book.

Just hope dey do good justice to Americana, if not I go vex die. Lupita is not bad for the role tho, she only needs to come and live here 4a while to learn our slangs so dt wen she's acting it out it'll flow. Good luck 2d filming crew.

I wish her the best.

I develop goose pimples all over whenever I hear about Chimamanda. She's so successful in what she does even though I don't really like her books.

I love the fact that she brings out the best descriptions and knows exactly what her readers want.

Looking forward to watching the movie.

I kinda agree with you on her books..they're very well written and engaging but with an inherent depressing quality abt them I just don't understand.
still spend good money looking up her books tho.

Hope dey don't mess up the movie adaptation like dey did Half of a Yellow Sun
*still vexing f that one**

They're kind of boring. I love seeing action in every page of any book I read. But hers? She uses 3 paragraphs to describe the palm trees and ancient market. I find myself jumping lines and I don't like doing that.

I see
