Book: Things Fall Apart
Author: Chinua Achebe
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review:
Written by a Nigerian author and situated in Africa it follow the story of clans and villages, particularly Okonkwo's life. The only reason why I gave it four stars and not five was because I didn't enjoy the writing style (dialogues where a bit weird and the change in point of view also seemed odd at times). Other than that it's an amazing view, very informative about traditions and cultural norms at the time, it can be a bit enraging when the colonizers make their appearance but it talks about an important part of African history.
