"Hard to describe. Part memoir, part political polemic, part cricket commentary. Has some breathtaking passages about the sport.
This book is often held up as one of the best books about sports ever written, which rather misses the point. It's about cricket, but it's also about so much more. Crucial for anyone interested in West Indian independence movements."
"Fascinating from the perspective of getting somewhat of an insight into West Indian culture, but the author is a little too full of himself (possibly justifiably, but hard to judge from one book) for my liking."
