Engaging novel about coffee, politics, geography and hope
Salavandra is an engaging novel focusing on the politics of coffee. It's a very human tale of hope, struggle, passion and justice.

thought provoking but too contrived
I found Salavandra to be an enjoyable read with some thought-provoking aspects. The author certainly feels concerned about important social issues.

The author certainly feels concerned about important social issues.Perhaps the weakness was that the tone is realism however the story is just too conveniently designed to illustrate the author's message. And, the plot summary that this book is against "capitalism" is off base since the book is about corruption and corruption and capitalism are not the same thing. Not to mention that one of the largest economic problems for the Caribbean is U.S. trade protectionism, which again is not "capitalism"... John Christmas, author of Democracy Society

Interesting and thought provoking,
This review is from: Salavandra: A Coffee Tale (Paperback)
I found this book to be very interesting. It shows the dynamics of a monopoly taking over a small government. The coruption in government is exposed throughout this book. It shows how hard it is for individuals not working together to succeed in today's world; how with team work, more can be accomplished.
