GozieDiora: 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. |

Hmmm... Nice... Although I think Americanah had more volume than any real substance. Looks like something written to massage the black woman's ego. |

I don't understand why good books are being adapted into movies! It's impossible to act out a really good book in less than two hours of movies. Movie adaptation condescends original literary work. Good readers would understand what am trying to say. |

She is my crush. My only problem is that Lupita should not play the role of ifemelu as she doesn't fully match the full description of Ifemelu. |

preshuzpearl: You are not a patient person and that makes you a non book lover. In a book,every word,sentence,paragraph and page counts. You should be watching movies or something that can give you a quick fix. 1 Like |
