What do you find most interesting in the book written by a well known writer Chinua Achebe "The gods are not to blame".
Have you even read it?

Even the title of the novel is disrespectful, but Achebe is not the author.

"The Gods are not to Blame" was written by Ola Rotimi not Chinua Achebe. I read it in secondary school as part of my recommended literature texts.

We had to reproduce the play as part of a GNS course in school.
Twas very interesting, but not easy if you are studying Engineering.
