The sprawling almost 500 paged book turned out to be okay. But, I must say I was a little dissapointed. It was like there were so much issues crammed into one book and the issues (ranging from racism to hair) almost overshadowed the art of storytelling. It looked more like a collection of essays on racial prejudice and all... balanced on a sparse real story structure making it almost too serious. I will choose 'half of a yellow sun' over it anyday and time.I totally love and admire Chimamanda and this post is independent of her person. Who has also read it? whaddya think of the book.
