Title: Pre-Colonial Life without the Rose colored glasses
Product review: Achebe is one of the best writters of all time, without any doubt. "Things Fall Apart" follows the not so perfect life of Okonkwo in a not so perfect Ibo society in modern day Nigeria. A most interesting aspect of the story is how Okonkwo is well off, and a nearly perfect protagonist, but still ends up going through un-told hardships. The feeling of this book is further completed with the use of the native religion of the Ibo being real.This book makes one question colonialization in a different light as well, because the book shows how the process of colonialization was slow but largely unstoppable... and scary in a sense.
