Carrie A. (Bluepeapod) reviewed on 12/24/2005 + 9 more book reviews

Although this is a difficult read (because of all of the African dialect, vocabulary, jargon, etc.), it was well worth it... It's so different from a lot of other things you'll read because of the setting (both place and time period). I enjoyed the twists and turns, especially Achebe's take on "the invasion of the white man" (British colonization of the area). It was moving to see how much of a fatal flaw pride really can be. This is a must read if you plan to take the new SAT or study literature.
