Hello friends, im Layla Witra. me and my classmates were assigned to write an entry on what do we love/hate about TSLOB and are we going to recommend this book to anybody. enjoy reading youallss...

Actually I do love reading but I prefer more into a mysterious and horror story. i don’t like a family and relationship story as it is cliché and has expectable ending. But after I read about secret life of bees (even though I don’t finish it yet  #stuckinchaptereleven), I discovered that this story is very different with any stories out there because it opens my mind to appreciate the world nowadays as we have develop to a phase with no racism (maybe lesser than before) and we are having a good communication with other races. Speaking about other races, I have many different races friends in my former school and we were very good in many ways. I discovered that be friend with different kind of races taught me many kind of things especially the way they study (we all know that chinese people are really good in studying).  I thought that racism is only for races but also can be due to different skin colours.

I enjoy reading secret life of bees because the way the writer narrates and describes all of the characters and the story line really help me in understanding more about Lily and the 1960s era. The story also very funny especially Rosaleen  in her way taking care of Lily. I also love how the writer tells us about the bees fact as an addition and extra knowledge. I don’t like honey but maybe I can try to appreciate it more after this as I know many benefits honey can give me. The Secret Life of Bees also a very good companion anywhere I go as I read it during free time such as while waiting for the train to arrive, and also waiting the doctor to call me in the clinic (I finished two chapter while waiting). What I dislike about this novel is the way May dies. I didn’t expect she will die in a very tragic way even though I knew she would die (blame the spoiler friends) at the end of the story. I also dislike Lily’s reaction when she got to know about her mother past life by August. I think that Lily should listen the story first without quickly jump into conclusion about her mother. If I was August, I will yell at her and tell her to hear everything without interrupting -_-… but we know that August is very motherly and she loves Lily so much so she just let Lily with her unstable emotion.

I surely will recommend this book to my friends as it really has a good values and toughtus to be a real human being. This novel is not cliché as other novel (especially nowadays Malay novel) and it was lovely to read. This novel teaches me to not being racist, and to appreciate people around you like how Lily appreciate the black people around her without being racist. The Secret Life of Bees also teaches me that in life, we need someone to guide us. We cannot live in this world without companion. So, we really really need to appreciate what we have right now so that we will not regret in the other day. I hope, anybody that read this book will relate it with our own life. In addition, I also will recommend this to others as it taught on how to be rational in every decision you make. In another word, have faith in every steps you take. Wink**
