Víctor Manuel _manuel_zcariz — Little Bee is about a young-ish African immigrant to the UK who winds up living with a recent widow, due to a past connection. I'll start by saying that I appreciated the gravity of Little Bee's situation. I was also unaware of immigration issues in the UK, so I admire Chris Cleave's attempt to explore the issues in literary form. With those points said, I didn't like this book. Too many details, not enough story. In my opinion, very little actually happens in this book, such that I can almost understand why the book jacket description is so odd... almost. Everything felt forced and Sarah's life felt like cliche chick lit. I forced myself to finish it, but only with much page skimming.

Juan Bernal juan_bernal — I was debating whether to give this book three or four stars, but I really think it deserves praise for its subject. This is a captivating aspect of WWII, featuring Belgian refugees exiled to Nazi occupied France, the hospitality they encounter in the remote mountain villages of the southern country, and their role in the Resistance. I was previously unaware of the political upheaval in France during Germany’s control, the complacency of the Vichy government, and the role of simple peasants in harboring fugitives and supporting the defiant rebels. I wanted to give this book more praise because of the rich historical detail, the realistic and sympathetic characters, and the great atmosphere. However, the writing was pedestrian, the dialogue bordered on absurd, and there were so many mundane details that could have been omitted to make the book shorter and more fast-paced. Although, another reason I opted for four stars is because Amazon Encore plays a pivotal role in giving authors good exposure, which I think this book deserves. Sure, it had its flaws, but it was decent historical fiction (though based on true events) and its positives outweighed the negatives. I received a complimentary copy of this book via the Amazon Vine program.

Nur Husna nurhusnateera — The start of a new fantasy series that, like Bujold's other works, is full of great dialogue and compelling characters; however, it suffers from being really, really oddly paced. All the action is concentrated in the first half of the book, the rest given over to a romance plot that leaves what one would generally think of as the main plot dangling until the next volume. I actually really enjoyed how Bujold dealt with the culture clash aspects—rather than just have one of the protagonists say, "Oh, what will our families think!" we actually got to see what their families thought; it made me want to read more books (even non-SF/F books) about "mixed marriages" of whatever sort. So I enjoyed this a lot even though the strange pacing made the overall effect...odd.
