I am not sure what I was expecting other than an accessible and short introduction to Adichie....Unfortunately I didnt find it particularly interesting although its well written.

I mean its a short book with notes made on grief....so I maybe thought it would come together into something that would sort of transend what it is like The Year of Magical Thinking. There was no transendence, only "Notes on Grief"

Read the non fiction and poetry first. Now looking forward to the stories.

Whilst he does sometimes go for easy targets I have never failed to be at least entertained by his reviews and I enjoy his willingness to both look at the WRITING of a book as well as its other elements and be willing to be both negative and back up his comments with evidence and reasoning. Few reviewers are as honest, intelligent or entertaining in their reviews and few trust their readership as much as he.

enjoying it so far
