My favorite stories were: 'The Madman' ; 'Marriage is a Private Affair' and 'Girls at War'. The other stories were meh... I don't think I enjoyed reading this short stories book. Achebe's writing style is flawless as usual, but I wasn't really interested in a lot of the stories. Meh.

"Girls at War" is by far the best short story in the collection. The others are quite nice as well.

I mean... it was okay, I guess? There wasn't anything to hate or dislike, but there wasn't anything to love or like either. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A collection of short with the backdrop of the Biafra war. Sad, reflective and informative.
Achebe’s book are classics for a reason.

Didn't expect to be so hilarious. It's incredible how much he packs in just a few pages
