Passionate about St. John,
By steve simon (cruz bay - st. john, us virgin islands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of St. John and the Caribbean (Paperback)
One beautiful story after another......how nice it is to feel like you are sitting in someone's living room in St. John while they share stories of life in St.John from their perspective or from their friends'. Every page makes you want to go back to this incredible place in paradise. Gerald Singer has written many wonderful books on St.John but this compilation is by far his best......must reading for those of us who know St. John.....must reading for those of us who would like to know St. John......light and easy......just like their winds....

Terrible,
By anonymous (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of St. John and the Caribbean (Paperback)
This book was a waste of money. Most of the stories were boring and poorly written. I got the impression that since there are so few writers on St. John, any local can get a book published if it has anything to do with the island.
