How can anyone manage to dislike this? It's a work of art. Wonderful insight into how two cultures clashed. (and it was great that Achebe showed that the Igbo had already been changing for quite some time, given that they had guns and cannons)

It is pretty deep. I like how everything changed so quickly that one on could stop it. I also like how it isn't a "hurr durr African" novel. Achebe doesn't get pathetically sentimental. He doesn't get moral either.

can't remember much, other than reading it back in high school and enjoying it. It's definitely one of those rare books that should be reread multiple times.
