A review by votresourire_m
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
3.0
I get why this book has reached its level of importance and respect, because it is important. It’s important to read and learn about books who are written about the colonisation of Africa from the Africans point of view - and in that way it is a good book, but for me (book/story/writing way) it’s not my favourite.
In my opinion it’s not the best book writing wise, too slow and too repetitive, the perspective of it being told in third person when the protagonist is such a troubled and difficult soul and we never get to see his thoughts from his perspective is also hard.
It’s not a book for me personally, but an incredible important book for culture. It’s important to have stories told from all perspectives, and for that reason I respect it.
