Simple Logic!! She unexpectedly apprears on a track with Beyonce, who wouldn't want to buy book.

Yes, proud of her and her earlier works not Americana. Where did her flawless writing skill go to ?Its almost like she's letting her editors dictate to her on a change of her writing skills. The story was stale and devoid of imagination.

DeleteSo true, I couldn't believe she wrote the book. Was more of what you would expect a white man to write so I am not surprised they love it. It still remains the most depressing book I have read in a while. I have all her books and her next novel will help me decide if I will remain a fan or not. Currently sitting on the fence.
Great work,beautiful story line,sure deserves d no.1 spot
ReplyDeleteWow, I must read this book.
DeleteProud of her. Even if it's not her best work. Politely told her that when I met her while getting my book signed. Grab a copy of "half of a yellow sun". Now that's a GREAT read.
DeleteReally??? Different stroke for different folks. Was scattered and depressing.
DeleteThis woman is making us proud but where can one possibly get the book to buy?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, save your money. All na wash. Come carry my own...

ReplyDeleteYeah!proud to be a nigerian!I celebrate dis woman!true ispiration.. my own wud soon cme!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful thing to see writers from this end rub shoulders with those from the other end. If this book were to be written up there, it sure should be number one. One gets better with writing as one practices. It is a wonderful thing that many young people are taking to blogging.
ReplyDeleteIf only they would keep at it, and do it right, the future is promising. This is one of the reasons WorkWithEyram.com was established.
Really? Congrats to her.
ReplyDeleteGo girl...At last something positive Nigerians are poud of you
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that a post about books receives not as many comments as a post to give 100k. What is happening to our country?

ReplyDeleteLegendary Chimamanda Adichie...Big ups to you.
ReplyDeletedis woman na NIGERIAN.?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to my twin sister in my mind..... Heheheheheh..... Luv u.. Fifi
ReplyDeleteA dream come true for her
ReplyDeleteLets be truthful. The book is not as good as her other novel. It did not sell as expected so the hype by her publishers to gain enough interest for sales to happen. Linda, you know I speak the truth because I also know they contacted you to help hype it. All the hype and the marketing genius of her publishers got the book on the best list. It will help drive up sales that didn't happen before now. If her other books which made more sense didn't make bbcs best as at then ,why this that really doesn't cut it? Sales need to go up. All the same, she is good but, not this particular work.
ReplyDeleteGbam! someone who is speaking the truth. All the people hyping her have not read her book cos if they have, they will know the book falls short of expectation. Good marketing takes you every where. Hope her next book lives up to xpectation.
DeleteWeldone gurl! *cagey*
ReplyDeleteAve nt read d novel buh congrats to her
ReplyDeleteSo so Proud of Her, weldone Sis, keep represnting Us.
ReplyDeleteShe is a role model
ReplyDeleteCongrats gurl...well deserved!
ReplyDeleteMaking History!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAm so inspired! Wow!
ReplyDeleteNow, I don't know who's my best writer between Grisham and Adichie! In the words of Achebe, ' Adichie came, almost made'.
ReplyDeleteHope you know he said that because he was related to her.Would he have said that about some other writer? No!
DeleteNyc job well done....proud of her,Nigerians ar goin places..
ReplyDeletereally havent read any of her books,but sure i ve read alot about her..Goodnews and daz great..#make she no go bleach o turn americanah..lol kiddin o
ReplyDeleteNice one but not deserving of top ten best books. Half of a yellow sun maybe, Americana, definitely not! I have read it .
ReplyDeletenne as your name implies "your GOD can neva fail" chimamanda so he is working in ur life congrats ma
ReplyDeleteWhere can i buy the book?
ReplyDeleteHer name is what people are hailing. The novel is Crap! Save your money o. I read a few chapters and the book is packing dust somewhere. Heer name is selling the book not the book selling itself. She needs to sit up and stop listening to sycophants like you before a new writer takes over. My one cent.
ReplyDeleteMaking d 'women' folks proud...dis woman is jez an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAm so proud of her.I wish I can com bk 2dis wrld d 2nd tym,wud luv 2b lik her

ReplyDeleteOne day ur book will be translated to more than 50 world languages as chinua achebe's. Just pray some tribalistic bigots don't try to bring you down as they always see when they see pple of ur tribe excelling. They tried to do that to emeagwali,they also tried same to chinua achebe etc. Wish u best of luck babyluv
