I just finished reading this book for a class, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even without studying the historical context and meaning of the book, I would have really enjoyed it. It's a quick and easy read but still manages to bring up important questions for the reader.

Oj va det gjorde mycket med de sista sidorna. Kände verkligen att det satte hela boken i kontakt och fick mig att förstå vad konsekvenserna faktiskt BLEV. Innan dess tyckte jag den var bra men kanske lite långdragen. Är väldigt pepp på den nu. Tror till och med det kan få bli en tenta om den. Kanske läser om den i så fall men vi får väl se helt enkelt.
Read it freshman year of high school and feel I appreciated it much more as a recent college grad. Maturity and experiential learning are fantastic tools in understanding and relating to literature, I feel.

i have mixed feelings about this book. this was my first african novel and it was wonderful to learn about nigerian tribes and their customs, plus achebe's writing is amazing, poetic while still going straight to the point, with his use of igbo proverbs being one of the most interesting points about the novel.
i found igbo mythology very deep and interesting, but of course some of their customs from that time were kind of inhumane, such as the thing of throwing twins away. i also got pretty angry at the way they treated and talked about women, and at how the men (mostly the main character) treated their children.
i would love to keep reading more of achebe's books but i think i'd prefer to find out more about igbo culture from a female point of view.
