Have I read this before: Yes. I think I read this in high school.

Review: It’s interesting how things build up and change in this book. There’s the not-so-subtle influence of the Europeans coming in and pushing their beliefs and values, but underlying that are the more subtle changes in Okonkwo that exist despite his persistent desire to show no weakness. I think it makes what happens to him at the end even more impactful.

Favorite Part: I don’t know if it’s my favorite part, but the part that stuck with me from my high school reading of this book was the process of Okonkwo’s exile. His questioning of its reasons were very poignant and I still remembered that from way back when I read it the first time.
