"I was required to read this book for literature class at school when I was thirteen. I remember it as having very simple writing and not much conversation(I guess that was the writer's intention). It was about a young girl growing up in Antigua who was very close to her mother,but soon their relationship faltered, especially when young Annie realises that an intimate relationship exists between her mother and father."
"Annie John is a simple story about the relationship between a independent minded girl growing up in Antigua and her mother. While on the outside Annie is a perfect girl, Kincaid does a remarkable job of detailing the conflict she feels about her mom. Like all kids, Annie is rebellious and secretive at times. Without ever really getting into it with her mom, though, she ends up growing away from her steadily until she decides to leave Antigua for good at the end of the book. I read it while in St. John's and the feel of the Caribbean permeates the book. A great place to read it."
"I'm not sure how to talk about this book... I enjoyed it and it was a quick read, but I was never sure where I was being led. The sentences are beautiful and I did love hearing the thoughts of a young girl growing up, but I think I was looking for a little more. I think this author writes short stories and maybe this felt like an extension of that..."
