This review is from: Elect (Paperback)

ohhhh..this is funny! I mean we hear about fundamentalists often referring to Muslims. This is about Christian doing their conversion on these 'noble savages' who live in their caribbean beauty. I am not saying more about the narrative than that, read it. I honestly think that only somewhere like Trinidad produces writers like this who grow up in a country where, like Sevlon you can be 'bitter sweet', and I did not feel anything real real bad was being said about the christians (half my family are Prods). Sharlow is delivering this book, about one pompous prodestant group (from the US instead of the UK) that wants to change another group (Trini Hindus, Mulsims etc) BUT who really honesty envy them on another level. But enough ... I just wanna say, I laughed and laughed all the way to buying 3 copies for friends (A Christian, A Hindu and a Muslim).
