Perfect with a Glass of Mead
Another audio book finished with a mostly favorable review. It was called The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. First off, this was recommended to me from the guy at the audio book store, who has given me mostly good advice as I look for different books that reflect my mood at any given time. Usually he gives me the rundown of the book first but this time all he told me was that it was “a good book”. Ok. I’ll give it a shot.As I’m going through the first several chapters, I’m thinking to myself that this would make the perfect chick flick and that my wife should be spending her time with this book rather than me. However, this very “adult” storyline is told from a young girl’s perspective and I must admit that I found it interesting to be contemplating certain situations from an adolescent viewpoint, especially that of a young female. So I continued, hoping to gain insight on the female enigma.
I don’t want to give away too much of the storyline because the book was basically written on a subtle plot line. However, I will say that I enjoyed the book and found myself viewing complicated situations in a different, dare I say simpler, way. If you have some time and want a good story about the life of a troubled teen girl, give this a try. As a bonus, you will likely learn more than you thought there was to know about bees too.
