The Secret Life of Bees
The Secret Life of Bees
by Sue Monk Kidd
Not Good at All (1/13/2012)
I did not enjoy this book at all. It was under developed and was drug out. In the middle of the book nothing really happened these parts could have been left out. Although it showed many examples of racism and prejudice it was an overly emotional read. Lily had the maturity of a 6 or 7 year old. Not what you expect from a 14 year old. This was not the Best book I have ever read.
