4.0
i read this for my postcolonial lit class and wrote a critical essay on it. at first, it was tough to read, because it’s written in a distinct caribbean dialect. but overall i really enjoyed the book and how it critiqued the effects of colonialism into the modern era.

I enjoyed the book, there was no point to it, it's rambling and written from a Jamaican dialect but I think it adds to the charm. I've never read anything like it before.
