Things Fall Apart
In my opinion, the book has a really good story line and telling. I really like how the story puts us in the shoes of the people whose stories are not often told because people are scared of the truth. The story line is pretty interesting and the way the author put life before the actual history is really intriguing when you read into it more carefully. Before I thought this book was not gonna touch my interest but when I progressed to more chapters, I realized that yes, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. However, old habits never change and I flipped through the last few pages of the book and spoiled myself. But this made me want to know more about how it led up to that incident. Another thing that made me like this story is how the author makes us feel the pain or the emotion the characters are feeling and it's pretty amusing and also sad. But sometimes I get confused because there are sudden flashbacks and I keep thinking if flashback passage is part of the main story line so I have to re-read the entire thing all over again. Overall, it's a great book.

I agree with your point on how the author makes us feel the emotion the characters are feeling. I also like how you said "the story puts us in the shoes of the people whose stories are not often told because people are scared of the truth." I think that it is very true because, as we study eurocentrism, we see how twisted the tales truly are.
