Title: could someone correct the record please?
Review: Why were Smith's glaring mistakes passed over? Because everyone likes to laugh at colonial subjects and so getting it right is the least of it? Well just to say that "irie" is not Jamaican for "no problem." "No problem" is Jamaican for "no problem." Irie is a rastafarian word that means many things but usually a deriviation of cool, nice, okay... As for the other erroneous stuff about Jamaicans in the novel (it's difficult to imagine a Jamaican 19 year old woman calling a white 47 year old Briton "pickney"), I guess it goes to prove that having the blood doesn't necessarily mean you understand the culture better than the typical outsider.
Is the review positive or negative?
