1.	[no image]	Mystic Masseur from Vanguard Press Customer Review: My review of this book probably reflects more negatively on the reviewer than it detracts from the Nobel prize winning author, but 3 stars is all I could squeeze out. It was a nice low key whimsical tale, with pretty good character development, acquainting us with the simple, humorous, pretentious... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.	[no image]	Journey to Nowhere from Simon & Schuster Customer Review: Powerful, well written, classic. I have been researching the rise and fall of the Peoples' Temple since 1980, and Naipaul has written a documentation that is not only deep and probing but also prophetic. The powerful were not manipulated -- they were complicit. This much I know, and they remain... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		North of South: An African Journey (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.88 Customer Review: As an East African Asian, I was really looking forward to reading this book. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it quite as much. The author is very cynical and sharply critical of almost EVERYTHING. It doesn't seem that he likes ANYTHING about East Africa. Also, he often provides more... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The Chip-Chip Gatherers (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Customer Review: A good solid story on the shallowest level, and a rather sarcastic social commentary on deeper levels. Well worth the time to read.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		A Hot Country: (Love and Death In a Hot Country) (Twentieth Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Customer Review: Re-reading Shiva Naipaul's 1983 novel more than two decades after I first read it has rewarded me with new insights and a fuller appreciation of this travel writer and commentator's commitment to his trade. The hot country of Cuyama is the thinly disguised Guyana of the early 1980s and I have long... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Fireflies (Twentieth Century Classics) from Penguin Classics Customer Review: Brilliant writing. A must read for anyone interested in the caribbean literature.

10.	[no image]	An Unfinished Journey from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: Fresh from reading French's gripping and unsparing biography of his brother, Vidiadhar Surujprashad, I recently returned to Shiva's writing intrigued in part by the promise implicit in the essay "My Brother and I" to more fully explore the nature of the relationship (both personal and as writers)... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
