this book was awesome. it was a required reading for my world history 2 class my freshman year of college. although i am an avid reader, i probably would have never read the book on my own had dr barnes not required it for the course. if you are a lover of historically accurate books, this book is for you!

There, you have now read things fall apart. My version costs less and takes much less time as well.

Seriously though, we read this in high school and it is one of the worst Books I have ever had the misfortune of reading.

I read this book for the first time in high school I loved it. I found it to be detailed and I felt like I was in the village and I knew the people. The ending is extremely sad.

I absolutely HATED reading this book. I respect it as a very popular piece of literature, but in truth I spent more time sounding out all of the names in this then actually reading it!

Things Fall Apart.

It's rare to find a book that can be at once so severe and so touching. This is a fantastic and emotionally charged book of a view of Africa that is not always revealed to the world in such a way in suh honest color. While Achebe clearly cares for the culture, he is not afraid to hide what is true about it. The result is a deeply moving look into the way of people and how they relate themselves to the rest of world as it changes.
