Interesting and alive
I don't travel, but am fascinated by other countries. This book, I found to be intense and an interesting and disturbing ride through Haiti. I felt like I was there, in the story, with the characters going through what they went through. The story twists and turns and you're not sure what it's about until probably half way through and it's horrifying to think it actually happens in the world. This young author has done a marvellous job of bringing you into Haiti and making you swirl. If you want to know the hard life and a bit of history of Haiti then read this. I'm not saying it's all true and correct but I do know Haiti has had it's share of hell and this is some of it. Enjoy or not.
