I came away from it with the same take as you did. My classmates had a hard time with book and didn't like it. I, however, found myself thinking differently about cultures after reading. Wonderful book.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289499533606873690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-47949510323438406052011-09-07T19:39:16.861-04:002011-09-07T19:39:16.861-04:00This is on my list of books to re-read.

It was assigned for one of my college classes, and I remember bits and pieces of it, but not much.

Definitely one I need to reread again sooner rather than later :)Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-54363214304899168972011-09-07T08:48:11.836-04:002011-09-07T08:48:11.836-04:00This book taught me so much.

I hated Okonkwo and had a hard time through the first half of the book, but then after the Europeans got there, it all started to make more sense, the contrast of what we in the western world considered civilized and uncivilized, and how in reality, neither side is "better" than the other. I liked the contrast. It really turned around that whole first half of the book fo rme.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
