The better of the two books is Arrow of god. Things fall apart is critically acclaimed in the literally world, typical of a good book that makes a way and creates a niche for its space in the library of world literature. It is a good read any time, any day. But in Arrow of god, Achebe came of age. His plot became better, the dialogue sharper, and his well known habit of destroying his characters became more enhanced. In Things fall apart, Achebe destroyed Okonkwo. But despite Okonkwo's fiery temper and other misgivings, in him we saw the first nationalist that resisted foreign colonial penetration into Africa. But then in Arrow of god, Ezeulu was destroyed by Achebe for the flimsy reason of pride! That's all. What a story! The simplicity of Arrow of god is worth mentioning also. Things fall apart is popular but the better of the two books is without doubt the Arrow of god. The great author also had this opinion. 5 Likes |

Arrow of God...anyday, anytime Recently I picked both books again. It was the revised edition of Arrow of God I read this last time, and it was so captivating from the first letter to the last. The proverbs were deep and striking, the words felt real and simple, and the descriptions were detailed so that it was well imagined in my head. There was more talk about what happened in the Obi, the whole chalk thing and the particular toes that were marked. I think Things Fall Apart was over hyped compared to Arrow of God. The former seemed to have been written in a rush. 2 Likes |

NOETHNICITY:Dispute what I said or shut the hell up. Check, make research and come back. Why is Chinua Achebe regarded as the father of 'modern African literature'?? |

vb0mb: The best derpends on the reader. To me, Arrow of God deals with the real pre colonial Igbo way of life, and Achebe should have written it first, with Things fall Apart as follow up; just as he wrote No longer at Ease as follow up to Things fall Apart. Things fall Apart was themed in the transitional period when the white man's religion, system of justice and general way of life was at battle with Igbo way of life. |

apcmustwin:By simply "googling" 'chinua achebe' you can get a list of all his books. You missed out 'A man of the people'. Clowning around does not necessarily mean that one is a clown. Congrats on your seminar papers. |

SirDavico:. Just a reminders guys. Arrow Of God is a continuation Things Fall Apart. Just same story with differnt charaters. However, the crux of d story was embedded in Things Fall Apart. The center cannot hold. Mere anarchy rules upon the land. Things Fall Apart will always have my vote. |
