| Sprint Version
The "sprint" version of my review is, ahem: FAAAAAAANTASTIC!
Long-distance version
But, of course, I'm not one for short versions of anything I do (read that anyway you choose),
so I'll say this:
"There are two types of people who should own a copy (or two) of this book:
(1) Jamaicans and
(2) the people who, while not blessed to share the honor of being Jamaican, nonetheless, have the
equally enviable position of being able to WATCH Jamaicans conquer the world!"
I love to share information, but if I were to share every fascinating tidbit of information I wanted
to, I'd essentially end up reproducing the book in its entirety in this post! I'll simply say that the list of
"firsts" and "onlys"--when compiled and viewed in one place--is staggering...."
