On Black Sisters Street Audiobook

" While the characters were interesting and I enjoyed learning a little about Nigeria, the writing left something to be desired. "

" Emotional, moving, sad. Women, choices and consequences. I thought this book was great but was also sad that women have to make certain choices in order to "progress". "

" This book took me away from work I planned to do at home. Very vivid, I was right in Antwerp with the girls. Time well-spent. "

" I just couldn't get into this. I did not finish. "

" Enjoyed the story and learning about each characters lives, but for some reason when the book was over I was left with a little bit of "that's it?" I feel like there could have been more to the story and the development of each of the women beyond the simple reasons behind why they chose the life they did. This was a well written book and I would recommend it to others. "

" This is a wonderful read. The characters are beautifully drawn and their stories are compelling. The author does a good job in expressing thick dialect in a readable manner. Quite heartbreaking. "

" Africa (Nigeria)-Europe (Antwerp) sex trafficking. Strong characters with good stories, and good Nigeria, Sudan, and Antwerp settings. Rings true and authentic. "

" great read...wish there was a different ending though. I've noticed that Nigerian authors don't like happy endings in their novels...#interesting "

" An eye opening book, dealing with the seedy side of life, although fiction it is disturbing to know that this kind of thing is happening all the time. "

" I love books that go back and forth in narrative styles, but this one could drag a bit. The Afrikan-style English made it hard to understand, so I wonder if I missed some great stuff. However, the ending is simply beautiful and very authentic! "

" Schrijnend verhaal over Afrikaanse prostituees in Antwerpen, maar toch met humor gebracht. "

" Very sad story about Nigerian women working as prostitutes in Antwerp. Well written, but be prepared for some very sad circumstances leading to prostitution as a good 'choice' for women. "

" Enjoyed it but was a bit depressing "

" I probably would have given this book 3.5 stars, but will just leave it as it is. Although it is about four prostitutes in Antwerp, the death of one of them causes the others to tell their stories: how they came from Nigeria to Belgium, but more importantly what drove them to Europe. "

" Interesting story with a less than stellar ending. "

" A depressing novel about African prostitutes in Amsterdam. "

" Was a bit disappointed with the too predictable writing and just finished it for the sake of completing the reading. Though in parts does manage to pull a chord , it has this formatted way of leading the stories that just fails to grab the attention . "

" A worthwhile read, although I may dislike men for just a bit until I get over it. "

" A depressing novel about African prostitutes in Amsterdam. "

" I just couldn't get into this. I did not finish. "

" I love books that go back and forth in narrative styles, but this one could drag a bit. The Afrikan-style English made it hard to understand, so I wonder if I missed some great stuff. However, the ending is simply beautiful and very authentic! "

" Good but depressing. Only gave 2 stars, as it reminds me too much of my work. "

" The book wasn't terrible, but I found the story incoherent and the writing distracting. With so many books to read, this one wasn't worth finishing. "

" I won this book off goodreads and I have to say, I have given it my all. I just cannot finish this book. It's very very slow and just overall depressing. If one day I pick it up and read it all the way through, I will definitely revise my thoughts. "
