5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Unadventurous, February 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Green Days by the River (Caribbean Writers Series, No 9) (Paperback)

I read this book a long time ago while in high school. I had to read it for a book report. This was the first report that I truly enjoyed putting together. I hadn't known that such fine writers existsd in the Caribbean. Green Days by the River made me want to go out and find other books by Michael Anthony. I am fom the Commonwealth of Dominica, which isn't very far from Trinidad. So I know about Caribbean life and I must say that Michael Anthony portrays it very well.

You know you've read a GREAT book when almost 7 years later, you remember the whole thing and where you were when you read it.
Green days is the book, not just for Caribbean born folks ( I am one!) but for any one who have love and lost and loved again. It desires to be bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ!, March 4, 2002

By	"ml320chula" (BROOKLYN) - See all my reviews

The characters were very universal. Even though I am a trinidadian woman and can relate to the story better than most, it is still a book that every one should read. The main character was the type of young man that you just wanted something good to happen for him. He possessed alot of the characteristics of human nature. He wants a young woman, then he doesn't want her then he does again, then you're not sure what he wants. Life is like that. This story is the perfect theme of innocence to experience.
