Half of the Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

PSA: Lol, this might not be the best review because I took 3 days to make a review and it got deleted. I'm high-key mad right now, but it's fine let's make it work :)

This is my copy of the book and it's probably not the original copy so don't come for me

This book is such an amazing piece of literature because it's considered a classic. I enjoyed reading a book that has been highly spoken about and written by an honorary author. This was a story depicting out the experiences of the people who went through the Biafran War. Now only was this an amazing realistic fiction story, but it was also an awesome historical account. It made me feel something and understand what the people went through. Let me take you through this story piece by piece.

Look if you haven't read this book then you have literally not read anythinggggg. You just have to read it to understand. While I was reading this book I just couldn't put it down. I read it late into the nights and even paused my homework just to read this book and honestly, I don't regret it one bit. The book wouldn't just finish and I really didn't want it to. It just kept going on and on, until it came to an end. The book kinda sounds like me now, going on and on. Let me actually give you a little summary now.

In this story, the author may or may not be writing about people that are still living now. I know this because the story took place in the 1960s and some people that were born there are still alive. Although since this novel was set during the wartimes; obviously some people would have died or gotten seriously injured, which did happen in the story. "Half of the Yellow Sun" is a wartime novel. It clearly explains the progressions and events leading up to the Biafran War. As it gives a historical account, it also tells a story as well. Developing various characters and taking us through their own stories as well. It showed us how the mighty fell, how the rich became poor, and how the privileged became underprivileged. It was painful but inspiring. Okay, now I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil it for you. You'll just have to read it!!!!!!!!

We haven't even talked about the author yet. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a very educated and strong woman. I know that she has been invited to tons of conferences and award shows. She also has a lot of degrees from various universities. She is also highly respected amongst many countries in the world. In fact, I respect her opinions as well. I am yet to read another one of her novels, "Americana", I know I'm going to love reading and reviewing it : )

All in all this story should be a recommended piece of literature for everybody so that they can get a taste of history in a creative way. Like I said before it takes you through the emotions of each character and makes you feel emotions of your own. If I had to rate this book on a scale of 1-10, I would straight up break the scale and give it 100. Why you may ask? Well because as I said before reading this book made me want to keep reading it and just never stop. I hope you read it as well and understand it as you read it. No... scrap that, I hope you read this book and feel something. Thanks for reading my reviewwww!!!!!!!
