I read it for highschool and I’ve never been more glad for assigned readings. It was such an amazing read.

Same, it was by far my favorite thing I was assigned in English class.

Same for me. Definitely felt like one of the most important books we read. Watching the closeted racists squirm during the discussions was also pretty fun.

Same here. It was especially amazing because I had to read it along with Heart of Darkness, which I found almost completely unpalatable.

Same thing here. The way it was the first African book assigned to us finally after being bored to death with Wnglish books.
