This book is epic in scope, interesting from an historical pov, versatile. This book is huge, important, ambitious. But did I enjoy reading it? Pffft. Not really. Sometimes yes, more times no. (Thank Jah for the female character though) 
 The book was a tat too difficult for me: too many voices, too much Jamaican slang to swallow, just too long. 
 Yet, 4 stars, 'cuz it's still a work of genius. So the reading sensation = 3 stars, the book itself 5 stars. Weird isn't it?
