Title: So it does get better toward the end?
Product review: I've read a number of Nigerian novelist and my favorite Nigerian writer is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her "Half of a Yellow Sun" is excellent.And so when I saw that "Things Fall Apart" on a "100 Best Books List" (The Guardian) I decided to borrow it.It is very rarely that I don't finish a novel, but I despaired of this one and returned it when I was about 70% through.It was after this that I looked at the Amazon reviews. I might borrow it again as a few people have written that it gets OK towards the end.But for at least 70% it's all about a tribal strong man beating wives and killing a child. From other reviewers I gather that this is meant to show there WAS "culture" in Africa before the white men came?IF that was the novelists intent, all I can say is that it failed miserably.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
