I was literally on the edge of my seat reading the last few chapters of 'Arrow of God'. Words cannot describe how exquisite Achebe is at story telling, the way he delivers dialogue and sets the scene. You think you are merely a spectator but without realising it you become so intertwined in life in Ezeulu's compound, at points it felt like my heart was pounding in my chest as events unfolded.

Soon as I closed the book I knew this was one of my favourite books ever. You simply have to read it for yourself to understand why.
