Who actually talks like this! This book is way to hard to comprehend and I'm in pre-ap english. I don't think that older people would even understand this book. But I guess in a way its informative but all in all its a REALLY boring book!!!!

by Allen I HATE THIS BOOK...
I'm in a ninth grade honors US History class. My teacher ,which to top off my situation is my aunt, asinged us to read this book and answer question, write summary's, ect. I think one person in my class has actually been able to finish a whole chapter. This book bores me to sleep, literally. I fell asleep three times in one class period trying to get through one chapter , which i have still yet to do. The man who wrote this book has to much time on his hands. How else could he accomplish to confuse so many people with one book. I mean come on, give us a break, my sister who is in a honors english class in colledge can't even read this book. Its information is good and acurate, but the content was not made for those who have a life. DON'T READ THIS BOOK IT WILL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL....

This book was very good, managing to squeeze the highlight of over a decade into about 250 pages. Ellis did a wonderful job with descriptions. However there were a couple of manageable drawn-out sections. If you did not have the attention span or vocabulary to understand the book, maybe AP US History was a wrongful course placement. I am currently in AP US as a junior, and read this book by choice.

I think Im being way too nice to give this book a 1. It diserves a 0.2. I REALLY hate this book. I had to read it for my AP U.S History class, but I didn't even make it after the first sentence of the preface. This book was a total waste of my time. With the use of difficult grammar, I didn't understand a word. I don't think there is a way to improve this book.

by sam this book totally sucks
as a US AP history student, i was assigned to read this book along with two other less dreadful books. i mean, i like history, especially the history of our country but never in my life have i read such a book that changed my mind so fast, i hate history now, all because of htis total bore. if you are planning to read this book as an assignment, find a younger sibiling to do the job, if you are a teacher reading this to see the views of what the young kids think of the book, all i have to say is- might as well fail them from now rather than sucking the fun out of their lives with such a horrific book.

Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
First time novelist Vaddey Ratner captured my heart and senses in this novel based on her childhood in Cambodia. Her story transcends any news story...
