Summary: IRRESISTIBLE! READ THIS BOOK, AND KNOW THAT IT'S CUTE
Comment: The entertaining prowess of Professor Achebe makes me wonder how he gets his inspiration.
This well-written, well-edited "Arrow of God" is by every means fantastic. It is a masterpiece whose only functional gear is forward. The novel is so interesting that you will never put it down once you've started reading it.
Having read most of Professor Achebe's works, I acknowledge that his Nobel Prize (in literature) is long overdue.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great
Comment: Another Masterpiece by Achebe. The novel is beautifully written, he use of metaphor is amazing. One can see growth from his earlier novels such as "Things Fall Apart."

Rating: 5
Summary: Achebe's Arrow
Comment: Like Chinua Achebe's first novel (Things Fall Apart), Arrow of God takes us back to the traditional village culture of the Igbo nation in Western Nigeria, tracing its destruction under British colonial rule. Once again, too, the story centers on a tribal elder who embodies the old ways so profoundly that he will be destroyed along with them. Achebe uses fiction to do what ethnology can never accomplish: to take us "inside" an indigenous culture, letting us see and feel how its customs and beliefs support the rhythms of daily living. With an extraordinary blend of sympathy and detachment, he captures the human tragedy in the destruction of a way of life.
