Reviews

One of the finest embodiments of African literature that I've ever encountered.
Deserving of every single star.

This book was ok, not bad, not good. I read it for school and would probably not recommend it to people, but it wasn't bad as far as books you *have* to read go

I was forced to read this in high school, and I didn't really like it or enjoy it. I should give it another go, but I just really remember not liking it the first time around.
