Book review by Dr. Okey Ndibe



"This is the way that a book review is supposed to be written."

Dear friends,

On the link below is a very concise review of the great Chinua Achebe's brandnew work called The Education of a British-Protected Child

I remember, back in the mid-Nineties, about a book review that I had written. the response by Dr. Ndibe who at the time was the Editor-inchief for the, unfortunately, now-defunct African World, an international magazine that was the literary descendant of Chinua Achebe's groundbreaking publication series called Pan-African Commentary. Ndibe commented, "This is the way that a review is supposed to be written." I now must reciprocate. Enjoy!
