I struggled to connect with some of the characters, but the overall message resonated deeply.

A searing indictment of corruption, but overly long and preachy in places. Still worth reading.

While the plot was engaging, the extensive descriptions occasionally bogged down the pace. Overall a good read.

This book is beautifully written, but very depressing. It’s a powerful indictment of neocolonialism.

Ngugi’s writing is powerful, but the dense prose made it a challenging read. The story is important, though.
