Last post for God's Bits of Wood. I'm a little sad that the book ended the way that it did but also glad that it is over. I started off loving the book and saw similarities between Things Fall Apart, the book that made me decide to do IB English, and I really liked the story.
I started to dislike the book when Bakayoko arrived and the women lost a lot of their power and confedenice. I also didn't like how the author made Tiemoko sound terrible and that he was causing all sorts of problems. In the end he only ran the trial with Diara and didn't show up again. What I did like was that Fa Keita came back into the picture. I was wondering for most of the book what had happened to him and was glad that we got to see what he was going through. I thought that the author forgot about Fa Keita and was glad that "the old one" returned safe.
All in all, I liked the book because of the story line and the development characters. I love it when characters change for the better but in this book we see change but don't know if the change sticks. All of the women change to be stronger but after the book ends we don't know if the women will revert to their old ways and let the men run everything. I am still left with questions but all good books do that.
