It is a great book and gives a real insight into the lives of tribe members and their culture i.e. there is a character who lives in a cave and is a sort of witch who is feared bt greatly respected by the tribe.
You should definitly read this!

- Latest Review: East Wind, 2nd edition by Jack Winnick
I particularly love the time Chinua Achebe spends on developing the character of Okonkwo. This character has so much depth and experiences a transformation that makes for quite an anti-hero ending. I have always debated on focusing a project based on the character development of Okonwo - from this reading I will be doing so in the following year.
I highly recommend this novel to anyone who has not read it and who enjoys culture clashes intertwined with tribal folklore. Even if you don't "enjoy" this type of book, it's still worth your while to read it!
