“This is another cycle of tradition vs. change, and takes the Things Fall Apart premise to a whole new level. His versatility reminds me of Walter Dean Myers, taking risks and trying new things with characters and plots without losing the good stuff. To me this is the most serious of all his novels, and that's different because most of his novels have a lot of humor.”
