A review of The Arrow of God by Chinua Achebe

[@kanyilelinda3280]

1. I loved loved hearing pronlunce all ghe characters' names with the Nigerian accent. 🥺🥺 2. Listening to you i realise that i enjoyed the writimg so much that i forgot to critiacally engage with the book. Its an excellent piece of work I totally I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue and appreciated, as you said, that he wrote as it would have happened between 2 Ibo people. For me this added texture to the work and helped me create vivid imagines of the scenes.

Your comparison and analysis of Ezeulu and Okonkwo is so beautifully refreshing.

Nice one

I preferred things fall apart because it represented in clarity the introduction of the the white man and his religion to a pristine African that the reader was beginning to understand and appreciate.

@@tomiabimbola-o7q you are right. I live the description “a pristine African”. Ill be reviewing things fall apart soon.

Amazing

I agree with you. I loved all three, but Arrow of god is sovereign. I think Ezeulu was uxh easier to sympathise with than Okwonko. I'm not from Nigeria, not even from west Africa. I'm from Uganda.

Thank you for watching and commenting! I always wonder how non-igbos process the books and the story. Chinua Achebe crafted a masterpiece with that one
