Little Bee 
A scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survivedI have a problem with the compulsive acquisition of e-books and it is a bit out of control. I currently own 215 un-read books on my Kindle and I plan to do something about it. For now, I chose 10 of the earliest bought books and give them 20%. If I like them fine, if not I will not read further. No 2nd chances or lets try a few more pages. Little Bee is the first book I chose and I am so happy I finally got to it after more than 4 years.
I wanted to like Little Bee. The reviews for it are exceptional. Book List starred it, Amazon named it among their February Best of the Month picks, O Magazine fondly mentions it. I mean come on, Library Journal labels it the next Kite Runner for goodness sakes! I couldnt wait to be swept away. And I was for the first couple of chapters. Little Bees character came on very strong and distinct. I felt like I could pick her out of a crowd and guess what she was thinking. But I gradually started

Loved this book. Re-read today.
Wonderful book. I don't know why I waited! It worked the way the author used 2 narrators to tell this story. The little boy's character was a brilliant contribution --- Adults are no different (we just don't wear our Batman outfit every day). But aren't we always looking for ways to comfort ourselves? Ways to find inner peace? Ways to protect ourselves and those we love?My respect for this author is HIGH!
I've had this book sitting on my bookshelf for a couple of years now and I don't know why I haven't picked it up before now. Covering a range of subjects this book is beautifully written in my opinion. A terrific story of friendship between two people who were complete strangers. Reading about their lives takes the reader on a journey that will not only have you turning the pages, but it will also leave you wanting more. I have no hesitation recommending this book.
The first three pages of this book deserve 5 stars. Absolutely. Little Bee is an excellent narrator and they were positively engaging/hilarious/touching/curiosity-inducing.After that, the story gets pretty heavy. That's not a problem, but it struck me as a uncomfortably incongruous with the cutesy publisher's note on the front book jacket flap. It's got a coy little tone with some stylized all-caps, teasing about spoiling for the story for us, the readers, who are about to go on a magnificent
