Child of All Nations

I loved reading this; it definitely made me feel closer to my roots. Child of All Nations has more serious undertones that This Earth of Mankind; it has a lot less romance and a lot more discussions on colonialism, the struggle for independence, and humanity. This is the kind of book that really immerses you in a completely different time and place. In a way, I'm not sure how much me enjoying this book is because I feel that I can relate to it, vs it actually being a great book. Regardless, I really enjoyed it. It's such a thought-provoking books and there were so many moments I felt that I had to stop to really think.

The ending was a big letdown for me, I feel like the build up was huge and it ended so quickly. There were also a few things that I felt weren't completely tied up at the end. However, it was still a great book to me, so I'm giving this a 4.5/5.
