Little Bee

There are myriad authors in the world, but comparatively few actual writers.  Chris Cleave is a writer.

I found a book entitled  Little Bee by British author Chris Cleave on an airplane this week…left by a previous passenger. I started reading it during a transcontinental flight, and then couldn’t put it down to go to sleep when I got home despite major fatigue and the extra late hour.

Not only that, I then forced Doc to listen to my synopsis of it…followed him around reading passages that stuck with me.
 

I never EVER write in books. But this book seemingly forced me to underscore points that I didn’t want to forget, ideas or thoughts which I wanted to share with others. I hadn't gotten past page 8 before I was moved to do this.

The majority of books I read are kind of like popcorn…you enjoy it while you’re eating it, but it’s not an experience that stays with you or stands out in your memory. Little Bee is is like an extraordinary gourmet meal at a 3-star Michelin restaurant in France. You will never forget it. But it's better than a meal, because it just might change how you view the world, and who you are in it.
