Title: THIS is a classic?
Product review: The higher the expectation, the more bitter the disappointment can be. This book proves it. Supposedly, "Things Fall Apart" is one of the three or four classic, must-read books of African literature. If this is a classic, I don't want to see the B-list. Minimal character development; no explanation for bizarre, cruel, impulsive behavior of the protagonist or others. I had no idea what made these characters tick. And so the story didn't grab me because I didn't have empathy or understanding for or of the people who were in it. The title is great; unfortunately, "things fell apart" after I opened the book.
