Part I Childhood was … disturbing. Young Julius is not off to a good start in life.

Really good but taking me forever to read because of life’s distractions!

Finished Part 1. Life in Jamaica. Good, so far.

Finished Miguel Street. It was really good but had a little too much domestic violence (men beating their children and wives, one instance where the wife was actually beating the husband). I liked the colorful characters, the dialogue, and the humor despite the situations being rather depressing. This was my first book set in Trinidad and by Naipaul. 4.5 stars

Miguel Street - Ch 5 Man-Man. Vignettes, with the same characters, from Miguel Street in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Interesting and an easy read.

My aunt recommended this one to me, and it’s set in Lexington, KY, where I used to live, and it’s by Geraldine Brooks so…it’s a must read! Excellent so far! 🐎

Really good! Just now getting to the fantasy part. More humorous lines than I remember from other King books. The narrator is excellent but I have to switch over to the e-book in 2 days.

Really good! I like the description of the coral reef and the marine life. I can’t help thinking of the Flipper theme song.
