The Night of the Rambler di Montague Kobbe
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Decide...fiction or non-fiction. This book was not very interesting and, though I tried to stay with it, I wondered what was fact and what was not. This one may go into the re-gifting bin for someone else to try.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.In 1967, Britain granted internal autonomy to their Caribbean colonies, but linked together the islands of St. Kitts, Nevin, and Anguilla. This annoyed the Anguillans, who, for some reason, wanted to continue to be British subjects, but hated being lumped together with St. Kitts. There was some sort of revolution, or rebellion, which unfolded as a series of errors, and led to the Anguillans getting what they wanted.
I knew nothing about this before reading [The Night of the Rambler]. Unfortunately, I still don't know much about it, because the book is a novel, with some basis on historical facts. I found reading the book frustrating because I was never sure what was real and what was imagined. I wish that Kobbe had written a non-fiction narrative of those events, instead. It's very intriguing--I tried to get some more background through a google search, and wikipedia, but information on the history of Anguilla is very limited on the web.… (altro)

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.As a frequent visitor to the Caribbean and one who follows events in that region, I was disappointed with this book. I found it very difficult to get into and felt it could have used a LOT of editing. Interesting story, but not very well-written.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.This book is about men in the Caribbean trying to navigate and just live through the political turmoil during the 1960s. Echoes of Junot Diaz can be felt in the book, and it gave me a better understanding of what people really had to go through back then. It gives you a better respect for what people fought for themselves and there families.
