Mary: What a great story. I was immersed early on and trying will a better life for Adunni. She is a girl with a vision!! After all that life continues to throw at her, she is still willing to always fight. The best part about her vision is that she recognizes that the fight is not with her alone but with the many girls in Nigeria who have gone through what she has been through and probably worse. The ending does end at a time when she is still really young, so we don’t see what her future is like. It’s fine because, after all that we’ve seen from her, we know she is going to do great things.
The Girl with the Louding Voice lives up to the hype. A novel that combines gritty storytelling with a unique narrative voice of Adunni's dialect of broken English, which adds a certain authenticity to the story.
Overall, it's a beautiful story of a young girl who longs for an education and a better life but has to fight great odds to reach her dreams. A highly suggested read for someone who want a great read with a truly inspiring story. I look forward to the next book by Abi Dare.

karen: I like the way the book is written as it felt like I was reading Adunni’s own writing.
I would recommend this book to friends and I think it would be a good study for high school literature.
I gave it four stars for the reading value and for knowledge of the way of life for many young girls in Nigeria.

A rose by any other name: A compelling story which has been written beautifully.
This reminds me of Maya Angelou’s “I know why the caged bird sings “ which I read many years ago, it has the same gentle story progression where things happen but are never rushed or written short, but equally it isn’t over wordy, I have enjoyed every page and genuinely didn’t want to finish it.
