    I finished it yesterday. And I liked it. I was happy that within all the sadness some parts were laugh out loud funny. I wish I knew more what happened at the end though. I wanted an epilogue which I think is NOT the point. Have you read it? what did you think?

    I liked Little Bee until the end. spoiler alert Little Bee goes off to jail, likely to die. The beach wasn’t very safe for Sarah last time she was there, so there’s not much guarantee it will be this time. It seemed like a hopeless ending and I needed more hope. At least a guarantee that Sarah gets the book published and is able to raise awareness.
    I’m glad you liked it though!

    I felt much the same. It stuck with me for a long time and left me wondering about Little Bee and survival and the good and bad in all of us. I liked it.

    I loved Little Bee – it made me think about things much the way the Book Thief did.

    After all of the good comments on here about Little Bee, I’ll have to pick it up. Have you read Hunger Games? GREAT books!
    Also, I was wondering if you will be doing a class/tutorial on how to MAKE the books with the text blocks from Paper Source? I know it’s something in your shop, and you’d probably like to keep the knowlege to yourself, but I would love to know how to make one!
    Love your work! All of it!

    Ooooh great!! I’m excited!
    I’d offer my hands to help, but that would be hard from Ohio!
    Thanks for being so great about answering comments 🙂
