    			  I fucking love this book.<br/><br/>I like how she plays with cliches around the lyric/the capital I Self voice, while being lyrical.<br/><br/>Also the use of Gertrude Stein all the way through is interesting.<br/><br/>Most of all, as a person who takes public transit a HELL of a lot, the descriptions of highways, traffic, being in suspended motion, are bang on.<br/><br/>Have finished but am rereading and rereading.

  		<em>Jesse wrote: &quot;I will definitely read this at some point. I really like Half of a Yellow Sun, the characters stayed with me long after the book was over. &quot;</em><br/><br/>I liked Half of  a Yellow Sun too but felt it took a long to get into...but it IS a classic three act war novel, so the slowness is built-in and productive I suppose
