Half of a Yellow Sun Audiobook

" this book is so interesting "

" As good as 'The Kite Runner' if not better! "

" It's absolutely wonderful! Plot twists keep you guessing and the characters are fascinating. "

" reminder to self, if the story takes place at wartime, it most likely will not be a mood lifter- cathartic possibly but not a mood lifter. "

" My first introduction to the Biafran War. The characters are wonderful and come alive. Most recommended. "

" Very well written book about 3 people's lives during the Nigerian/Biafran war. "

" This book changed my life. "

" Enlightening about a time and place I knew nothing about, Biafra and its relationship to Nigeria "

" I liked the story, the way it unfolded back and forth between the early and late '60s. Interesting, sympathetic characters, and a good balance of foreshadowing and surprise in the plot. I also learned a lot about the Biafran-Nigerian war. "

" loved this beautifully written novel on something i dont normally enjoy reading about....war!..and the price that is paid by millions of humans throughout history...an insight into the history of modern Nigeria. "

" Torn between 4 and 5 stars, but my wife says I don't give enough 5 star reviews, so i'll go 5. All the grandeur of post-colonial fiction minus the white privilege, plus gut punches of despair. I recommend it. "

" Wonderful read, the last half i couldnt put the book down. "

" A story set during the Biafran civil war. Very good. "

" Beautifully written; this is a compelling heartbreaking look at a small piece of African history.Haunting. "

" Its a brilliant story and 'saddish'It encompasses love,betrayal,brutality,losing it all,war... I LOVED IT "

" Overwhelming story, unforgettable characters. "

" It was amazing. I loved how it showed me the history of my country, it was breathtakingly good and I was captured through out the novel. "

" This is the genre of book I love the most - historical fiction - set in a foreign country in modern times. Almost as good as (often better than) travel writing... "

" This book was fantastic and I really wanted to finish it but I found the descriptions of the war too harrowing for me to get more than about a third of the way through. That probably says more about me than the book. "

" Loved this book! A real gem. "
