RaggedyAnn:




Very succinct. Shows how much you 'feel' the character. You would do really good reviews.

I actually have a book review website. I gave up on it simply because of laziness.

RaggedyAnn:



Ihuoma.

thanks I admire her character.

Christie in VC Andrew's *Midnight whispers* She has a strong personality, and was able to overcome all the ugly consequences life brought her way, even tho she was only 16.
.
Kambili, in Chimamanda's Purple hibiscus. Maybe because she reminds me of myself in a lot of ways.
.
Matt, in Chistar01 's Why I want to be bad. That story is still the best I've read on nairaland since I joined last year, and I mourned for 2days, when I completed the story. I loved Matt from the beginning, he just didn't deserve to die.

maggilove:
Okonkwo in Achebe's Things Fall Apart( a strong and disciplined man but weak like Unoka his father sometimes eg when he beat his wife in the week of peace and when he eventually committed suicide).
Lamang in Helon Habila's Measuring Time( he loves his children but doesn't show it, he doesn't accept defeat easily)
Kainene in Chimamanda Adiche's Half of a Yellow Sun( she is bad, strong, bad mouthedan hardworking and determined but unfrotunately ...).
Otis Hampton in. Isidore Okpewho's Call Me By My Rightful Name( despite all the situation and challenges he was still determined to know his root and he suceeded.)
Nneoma in Akachi Ezeigbo's Trafficked( she didn't believe she was a failure and never gave up until she achieved her aim)
Nnu Ego in Buchi Emecheta;s Joys of Motherhood( an epitome of a good mother who never reaped the fruits of her labour)
Adisa in Festus Iyayi's Violence( she struggled for survival with her husband but always got the blame for their predicament).
Koko in JP Clark's The Wives Revolt
Lakunle in Wole Soyinka's The Lion and The Jewel(he lost what he desired because he didn't support tradition and made Sidi marry the king only if he had accepted to pay the bride-price)
Piggy and Ralph in William Golding's Lord of the Flies(this is how friends should be)
Macduff in William Shakespeare's Macbeth
Portia and Nerrissa in Wiliam Shakespeare's The Merchant of Veniceboss and maid who saved portia's husband and friend)
Muthoni in Ngugi Wa Thiong'O's The River Between( she loved tradition, went against her parents wish and died doing what she wants, to her, she was fulfilled)
Efuru in Flora Nwapa's Efuru( a strong woman who accepted what life had for her)
Yaremi in Bayo Adebowale's Lonely Days(a strong and courageous woman, I love her boldness , abi na by force to re marry?)
Dede in Eddie Iroh's Without a Silver Spoon
Uche and Annie in bibijay123 Almost Perfect( they were the best, Annie especially)
Ebere and Ifeoma in bibijay123 Allen Avenue(their friendship is indescribable)
The girl in Twaci 's Diary of a nymphomaniac( this young lady didn't live the life of her own and was so unfortunate in the life her mother chose for her).
Tomi and Kelvin in bibijay123 's Twine( I love our lazy girl and Kelvin is the super saver always standing by his friends and family)
James in chipappii 's Diary of a Broke Playboy(James , that boy hhen)
And many more
I love reading.

I twale for you o

Can't remember the names of the protagonists.... But i like African literatures.... Ngugi wa Thiango.... A grain of wheat.... Adichie... Purple habiscus... I like Jaja and Ngozi... for their strong will and resolves.... Things fall apart... Emeritus prof. Chinua... Okonkwo for his hard work but hate his flaw ...anger... Ezeudu..."that boy calls you father have no hand in his death" I like the character.... Chinua... Chike and the river... Chike... Chike has seen the river fetched, fished and bathed in it... His problem was to cross from Onitsha to Asaba ... This short novel denounces most of the European claims about preliterate Africa (writing).... Faceless... Kwadwo.... What's that small girls name again....? Sly po and Kabrier.... Exposed the ordeals faced by street kids in Africa... Sizwe Bansi is dead... Robert Zwilinzima ...he played out the identity crises very well... In other to survive he had to die... winks.... Joy of motherhood Nnuego suffered a lot.... for her children and yet her death leaves me in tears each time ... The Concubine.. Elechi AMADI ... whatever it's lovely... and others. My favourite is Aye Kwe Arms's ... "The beautiful ones are not yet born"... The beautiful ones we had in African political sphere are dead... zik.. Nyerere...Nkrumah... Madiba... etc... please do well to read more of AFRICAN literatures.....

Geoffrey Tempest

The Sorrows of Satan by Marie Corelli. Loved that book, very insightful. But Geoffrey was weak, he gave up his writing for the riches and fame the devil promised (a Faustian Bargain). And although everything works out for him in the end, I liked the the other writer - what was her name? Mavis Claire.

Good choice.

Chike in Chike and the river Ralia in Ralia the sugar girl

Doctor Ndidi of The Madness of Uncle Ndidi. I ll never forget the book. Still looking for that book to buy once again.

Anastasia in Fifty shades of grey and
Whitney in Whitney my love.

Graham wessit, 4th earl of mortmarche... Strong, tentative and venturesome. Lives in the moment and tries the necessary just to survive however seen by many as a rake and always up to no good. Very 'kind' character but stupendously misunderstood. From the novel black silk by Judith ivory.

Patrick lanigan...great guy who sought the strangest of escape from the many impending tragedies. He showed truly 'that a man got to do what he got to do'... A capitalist kind of robin hood. Still his exploits appealed to me. Great story. Very didactic... From the partner by john Grisham. Still sad about that ending.

read hundreds of works sha
