5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book!!
School Days is one of the most charming, delightful books that I have ever read. It is filled with bold imagination, clever and expressive language, and a beautiful artistic vision. The excitement and love that this book inspired in me was so strong that it took several days after I had finished reading the book before my emotions dissipated.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Thoughtful Little Memoir
This is a thoughtful memoir that highlights an interesting world many readers will be unfamiliar with. A quick, easy introduction into the Caribbean and what it means to be human during a period of colonialism.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and enriching!!, February 5, 1999

This review is from: School Days (Paperback)
This is as satisfying as a book can get. I had a hard time putting it down once I started. The narrative is spiced with brilliant word-pictures and dialogue that will bring smiles to your face. As well as entertaining, it unfolds the drama of life for the Creole in Martinique. Well worth it to pick up this book and give yourself a superb treat.

For the love of Literature! "Smitty" (Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies) - See all my reviews
This review is from: School Days (Paperback)
This book captures the true issues that all Caribbean people live with daily. I am using it in my literature class of 16-18 year old and they have much to say about the issues highlighted. They feel very strongly about them and identify with them. It is a great work and I strongly recommend that all read it. It is a great must have for your personal library.
Thank you M. Chamoiseau for such a great work.
