What did you think of "Things Fall Apart"? I'm not sure what I think.

*Yawn*, get some originality.

I thought the ending could have been really good, if the book had made me care more about the characters lives. Everything in their story, all their hopes and dreams, being remembered as a single paragraph.

However, the book does not make me attached to any of the characters. Also, Okonkwo's character doesn't develop and he's not a "great man" so much as he is an insecure man and his character could develop but it does not.

Now I start to think, is that the point of the book? That Okonkwo could have had a story, but his story and development is cut short by the colonists? That would make the book better. But it seems a bit of a reach.
