nervous contitions

I think that Nervous conditions should stay on the syllabus next year. It was not my favorite book, but I thought it had some good points and it answered our question in class. Even though it is fictional history it reflects post-colonialization in Africa. It makes the reader aware of the way things were in Zimbabwe.

Even though I thought this was a good book there were a few negatives about this book. At some times, the book would become boring and not interesting. This was because there would be chapters where absolutely happen; then there would be chapters where lots of things occurred. I think that the information in the book should have been spread out through each chapter.

Another problem that I had was the characters. I did not like some of the characters; especially Tambu. I thought that she was annoying at times I did not agree with the decisions that she made. I really did not like how Tambu complained about her brother Nhamo and how he had changed when he came back from the mission and when she came back from the mission she had acted the same way and this made me angry.

I think that Nervous Conditions was a really good book and it taught me a few things. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I could have read this book like as a summer reading book where I would have a little bit more time. Overall, I think that this book should stay on the syllabus.
