Title: This Will Go in my "Bad Book" Pile
Product review: I had to read this book for my junior year in English. It's not a difficult rnovel if you can go for awhile being bored out of your mind. Well, OK. It's wasn't *that* boring, but I still would have preferred to read something with more content and less inconsistancies.Achebe tries way too hard to insert symbolisism and make himself come off as a talented writer, when really, he's just pulling out tricks. Not to say Achebe isn't a talented writer. I've read a few of his essays and they are quite good, but Things Fall Apart is not one of the better book I've read.Okonkwo is an agressive, sexest and disgustingly manish man, and it's absurd that people can even suggest that he obtained hero status in this story
