Achebe’s satire hits hard. Nanga is infuriatingly believable, but Odili’s idealism feels a bit naive at times. Still a powerful read.
Sheik Mohammed Bilal –
While the story is important, I found it hard to get into. The language felt a bit dated. I liked the political message of the book.
Bibin Lukose –
A Man of the People is a classic for a reason. The story dragged a little for me in the middle. But the ending packs a punch.
Aastha Sinha –
This book is so relevant even today! The corruption feels a bit over the top at times, but overall a good read. I enjoyed the writing style.
Harshit Sharma –
I had mixed feelings. While the political commentary is insightful, I didn’t fully connect with the characters. It felt a bit preachy.
Ravindran S –
A brilliant and thought-provoking novel. Achebe’s prose is excellent. Although the ending was a bit abrupt, I enjoyed it.
Sarthak Raj Vats –
Achebe’s sharp wit makes this book both funny and disturbing. The characters are complex, and the themes are timeless. Highly recommended!
Medha S Tigga –
Good book, but a bit slow paced for my liking. The themes of corruption and power are well explored. I did learn something new.
