The book is a master piece that fully explores the traditions of the Ibos. Achebe's use of proverbs is profound and the way he writes his story is so compelling that you actually feel that what you are reading is reality.
Summarily, the book is a must read for all African students and anyone interested in African traditions.
Kudos to the master of the game, ACHEBE...viva!
