Image
Hey readers, your girl is back with another review!!! This time it's a book review and you are going to love this one. Shall we? (Please note that the picture is edited to look grungy. Thank you!) Sunset in Biafra  is such a credible source to see what happened int he Biafran war. Even though it's a bit opinionated and from one person's point of view, you actually get t a side of the story you probably have never heard before. Bear with me, as this is not a story, it will be a pretty short review. This is a real account of Elechi Amadi's experience during the Biafran war. He was a general who just recently resigned his job before all hell broke loose. Within this book you learn a few things about Nigeria back then and how everything came about. You get to know the exact words used by the leaders at the time, and a few reasons for the tensions in Nigeria at the time. You get to see Elechi Amadi's journey from when he was captured several times to having to claim the ...

Another classic by the fabulous Chimamanda. As you can probably tell, I love her so much. She's a good influence to people everywhere. Okay now about the boooook!!!!!!!!!!! (We'll definitely talk about her again though👌). Now I could write a whole book about this book, which would be turned into a movie. That’s how amazing this book is. It has class and it gives you new opinions. When I read this I was in absolute awe. I would love to give you a deep analyzation of this book. So why shouldn’t? Let me stop rambling and get started on this. Purple Hibiscus is a storyyyyyyyy!!! Like honestly you guys need to read this book, you would love it just as much as I did. It was full of climaxes like at every single point. Just going up and down and up and down. Most times it was just peaking, like a heartbeat machine where the heart rate is just peaking and doesn't go down. Then towards the end, the biggest climax happens and you know what I may have hinted at it but you sh...

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 ...
