*Things Fall Apart* and the broader Africa Trilogy are incredible. *Things Fall Apart* deserves its praise.

The Butterfly Effect, Things Fall Apart and City on the Rails.

Agreed. I loved the trilogy but especially Things Fall Apart. What they’re going through is awful but that doesn’t mean some of them aren’t extremely flawed

The visceral disgust Achebe had for the depiction of black people in HoD makes Things Fall Apart read even more triumphantly. It truly feels like a book that shouts "Hey, WE EXIST"

Truly one of the greatest books a person could read.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is such a unique book, told in English and yet undeniably wreathed in Igbo storytelling techniques. ... That honesty makes the story so much more alive.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is such a unique book, told in English and yet undeniably wreathed in Igbo storytelling techniques. I loved the opening conversation between Okonkwo’s father, Unaka, and his friend. It encapsulates the proverbs that would dominate the novel’s dialogue.
