I like books that are an easy nice read with plenty pictures (I keed).
Some of the authors who are in my very exclusive mini library are John Grisham, James Patterson, Eric Jerome Dickey (who I met in September 2007), Nora Roberts, Sophie Kinsella (I hated the movie version of Confessions of a Shopaholic), Dan Brown (his books got kinda predictable on me and I fell asleep on Da Vinci Code 3 times), J.K Rowling (of course), Marfie ;) and I could go on but I'll stop.
I am not a huge fan of West Indian literature, but when I came across this copy of "Like Heaven" by Niala Maharaj I read the inside cover and thought I'd give it a borrow.
This book was EXCELLENT! I laughed, sniffled and was at the edge of my seat (bed) at times. I read the book in its entirety in no time at all. I am usually a fast reader and this book was no exception. It did not drag at all.
I lent it to my mom who only recently finished it (and now I need to pay late fees) but she too enjoyed the book.
This book gets 5 stars out of 5 from me (and the readers on Amazon as well) and I would recommend this book to anyone.

This is the story of Ved Sant, an Indian from Port of Spain, Trinidad — a ramshackle carnival culture, which is suddenly becoming oil and gas rich. Sant has a gift for business, and is an enlightened boss. But, inevitably, the pressures of family and success have an impact on his personal life, and lead to tragedy.

Ooh! Thanks for sharing AC. I love to read too so I'll see if I can get my hands on a copy. The synopsis brings back memories of "A Brighter Sun" by Samuel Selvon for some reason.
Aye! Look meh name!
I will be ordering this book on Amazon, so when I get a chance to read(probably in the year 2012)my eyeballs will be highly entertained.
If Afro recommends it you know it's a good read :)
I bought this book, and enjoyed reading it this weekend.
