A review by khetsia
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

3.0

First book I started and finished in 2023! Was recommended to me by a friend of mine (apm hehe) who had this book assigned to her in an anthropology of religion class. I found interest in learning about the Ibo people and their culture, but I wasn’t moved by the narrative despite its dealing with a very tragic topic (colonisation). Tbf, the display ageism and sexism, despite being culturally relevant, just didn’t sit right with me and I couldn’t get past it. Moreover, I found the protagonist to be quite unlikable, and self-centered.
