Title: One Of My Favorite Books
Review: I must have re-read "A High Wind In Jamaica" at least a dozen times since first reading it in high school. It remains one of my favorite novels. It is a finely-drawn portrait of a certain era, but its depiction of the fears and fantasies inside the children's heads is timeless. Its humor, though definitely on the dark side, is first rate: there are passages that never fail to make me laugh out loud, despite the fact that I have read them many times before. The ending, however, is disquieting, and it is easy to see why this novel is often compared to "Lord of the Flies."
