Negative Positive
Title: A book that will live for ever!
Review: I re-read the river between for literature and I was just touched like I was at the very first time. The quality anthropology aspects that Mr wa Thiong'o builts in his books (like many other African writers too) makes the reader come into the setting and be part of it. The book managed to win my sympathy for the 'oppresed' Kikukyu and reminded me of the many evils done to the colonised people all over the world. Christianity seems not able to escape blame in the whole operation because of its readiness to inflict suffering to the people so that they could join the religion.Today the book is still relevant, though the position of the whites has been taken by the ruling class and the rich.The book is worth reading in any case.
Is the review positive or negative?
