Customer Reviews

Some good history
If you have ever been to Negril, you will find a lot familiar stories in this book. The ride from Montego Bay to Negril was identical to several I have taken. I enjoyed most the parts of the book that talked about the history of Jamaica and Negril. The stories of encounters with locals and vendors were also amusing and very familiar to my own experiences. Beyond that, this was a very tedious book to read. There were portions that were a blow by blow, (no pun intended regarding Hedo II) account of some very boring events. Some of it read like a "dear diary" entry. "Today I saw so and so, we talked, we said goodbye" Okay, not that bad but close in spots. If you can get past those spots, I found myself skipping portions, there is a lot of good information about Jamaica and Negril.

Jamaican Travel Stories
This is a good adjunct travel book for folks traveling to Jamaica. The author shares anecdotal stories of his experiences on the island, many of which uncover the many mysteries of this fascinating culture. Book focuses primarily on the Negril area, on the west side of the island. Interesting and revealing travel reading, yeah, mon!
