Chike and the River by Chinua Achebe

3.0

Feels odd to give a Chinua Achebe book only three stars, but it wasn't like the rest of his works and that threw me off majorly. The tone of the book is rather juvenile, even for a children's story, and the ending ties up all loose ends rather too neatly for my likings. I do like the looks into Chike's daily life and the culture he grew up in; Chike ended up being a very likeable protagonist. Would probably not read again, though.
