I'm almost done with it. To me it is a very interesting read, but I went into it knowing that it was fiction, it does discuss "the singer" quite a bit, who is obviously Bob Marley. I actually like the way it jumps around and gives the perspective of the many characters in the book. If you are looking for a definitive book on the history of Jamaica in the 70s and 80s there are much better sources. If you want to be entertained and take the book for what it is, I think it is a fascinating read. It is very graphic at times and might not be everyone's thing, but I have enjoyed it. It was well worth the time I took to read it from an entertainment perspective, and since I got to spend a lot of time on airplanes in the last few weeks, I had the time.
