Summary: Sheer Bliss
Comment: This book is truly magnificent. The quality of writing is simply sublime. Allow me to provide an extract: "To this, reply was made that, while deploring such acts of lawless violence, the house could not afford compensation to all who had suffered during the late distrubances, and it would be an act of injustice to indemnify a few... When this nonsense was penned, every man in Jamaica knew that proceedings had been taken against the men who destroyed the chapels at Ocho Rios and Orcabessa..." What does historical accuracy matter? This is a literary masterpiece. It's literary complexity is matched only by Joyce's Ulysses. Highly recommended to all! Ceaseless entertainment, sheer bliss!

Summary: inaccurate
Comment: JUST FROM THE TITLE OF THE BOOK, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MR GARDNER IS MISINFORMED ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MY COUNTRY. JAMAICA WAS NOT DISCOVERED BY CHRISTOPHER, ARAWAK INDIANS WERE ALREADY LIVING THERE. I DON'T KNOW, BUT TO DISCOVER SOMETHING MEANS, IT WASN'T ALREADY FOUNDED. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
