This review is from: St. John People: Stories about St John residents by St John residents (Paperback)

I strongly recommend this book as an addition to your St. John library. This book is so intriguing and fascinating that I can hardly keep my nose out of it.St. John is notable for more than just its natural beauty and its ruins. This island is peopled by wonderful characters of every ilk and stripe: artists, intellectuals, writers, and the good folks who march to the beat of their own drums. This book bears testament to the fact that this is no cookie-cutter community, and reading it will make St. John seem that much more real.Of course, after you read the book, you will have to go to St. John and meet its interesting and fascinating locals. If you do, you will scarcely pass a day in which you won't meet someone worthy of writing about.
