I wanted to love it, but the constant shifts in perspective made it difficult to fully invest in the story. Just okay.
Anubhav Sharma –
Too many characters and not enough development for most of them. It felt like a history lesson more than a novel.
Prathmesh Prakash Pampatwar –
Intense and gritty. I struggled with the dialect initially, but once I got used to it, I was completely immersed. Not for the faint of heart.
Ishwar Sharma –
A must-read for anyone interested in Jamaican history and culture. The writing is brilliant and the story is captivating.

A stunning achievement. A gripping and unforgettable story that stayed with me long after I finished reading.

Overrated. The complex narrative felt convoluted and I couldn’t connect with most of the characters. Disappointing.
Shubh Walia –
The dialect was challenging, but the story’s raw power made it worth the effort. A truly unique reading experience.
Kushmita Sharma –
Brutal and unflinching. It took me a while to get through, but I appreciated the author’s honesty and unflinching portrayal.
Shahad Hanan K –
Loved the vivid depiction of Jamaica and the music scene. Some parts were unnecessarily graphic, though. Overall, a good book.
Komal Kumari –
A bit too violent for my taste, but I can’t deny James’ talent. The atmosphere and characters are well-developed.
Ringdao Nunisa –
Ambitious, but ultimately didn’t resonate with me. Too many characters and storylines to keep track of. I got lost.
Aditi Saurav –
An extraordinary and immersive read! The characters are complex, and the story pulls you in from the first page.

Absolutely brilliant! A powerful and moving story that explores the complexities of Jamaican history with sensitivity and insight.

James’ writing is phenomenal. The multiple perspectives offer a rich, though sometimes overwhelming, view of Jamaica’s turbulent past.
Anant Agarwal –
Did not enjoy. Too long, too confusing, and too violent. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re really into this genre.
Mani Prakash –
A sprawling epic, a bit hard to follow at times, but the vibrant characters and raw energy kept me hooked. A challenging but rewarding read.
