The author Interweave Island's history With geography, ecology, folklore and social custom to Inform The Reader about Both Dominica and Caribbean history as a Whole.CommentsWayne Pinckney says... I had started this book on a trip to Dominica but had to leave it behind and could not wait to get a copy of my own to read.The copy is in great condition and was received very quickly.I'd buy again from this source. Posted on August 23, 2010 Karin Clutts says... Actually the only real current guide I was able to find to Dominica. But it was great for our recent visit to this wonderful island. It was very accurate and useful describing hikes we took to Middleham Falls, Syndicate, Boiling Lake, Cabrits, Scotts Head and covering the towns of Portsmouth and Rosseau.It would improve with an index to the businesses, hotels and restaurants.Paul has done a good job---Rik Posted on August 24, 2010 Kera Formey says... Having traveled extensively in the Caribbean over the years and invested heavily in Guide Books Mr Crasks book and the island of Dominica came as unexpected and hugely pleasant surprises. The book is stuffed with all the information needed and quickly gets across that the island is different from the rest of the other dirty, expensive run of the mill islands. We hiked on the island and Mr Crask correctly points out the challenges. He rates the hikes and gives accurate and necessary advice about the need for guides and the difficulty of some of the hikes. I am British. Mr Crask is British.I think, perhaps, that is an advantage I have over American readers. He expresses his likes and dislikes with a British subtlety that is not always obvious, but his opinions came across loud and clear to me. And they were good opinions! Let's hope Mr Crask extends his efforts to some of the other islands Posted on August 24, 2010 Gladis Luvianos says... I've read Lennox Honychurch's Book THE DOMINICA STORY and it is the most comprehensive book you will ever get on the history of the island of Dominica. From the arrival of the Caribs and Awaraks on their flimsy conoe to the arrival of Christopher Colombus and the Europian invasion on the island.The early politics on the islan is disected and put together as you turn the pages revealing the rich history of the "nature island of the caribbean". Posted on August 25, 2010 Stefany Reder says... Here is a very interesting history of a Caribbean island most people in the U.S. may not know much about. It's written by a native Dominican, Lennox Honychurch, who has himself participated in some of the events of his country in the last 30-40 years, particularly in the country's politics. And, despite that, he does a remarkable job of keeping the whole narrative very objective, even when a tragic portion of that history involves his own family. I also found the history of Britain and France fighting over the island between the 7 Years War and the Napoleonic Wars very exciting as well. Also, Mr. Honychurch mixes in enough ethnography and social observation to give anyone an idea of the general character of the people, even if they have never visited the island. However, I do have one or two critiques. First, about two-thirds of the way through the book, Mr. Honychurch switches from a purely chronological structure to a purely thematic structure then switches back within the last 30-40 pages. Not that I can think of a better way to do it, considering some of the things he had to cover, but it is a little jarring to have that kind of a structural switch. And second, while I applaud Mr. Honeychurch's overall objectivity, there were a few occasions where his own views seemed to sneak in, especially in political events that he must have been able to observe. Overall, a fine history of the island that would be good for research material if someone was doing a historical case study of the Eastern Caribbean. Posted on August 26, 2010 Santo Wnek says... Excellent maps and descriptions of hikes, places to explore and snorkel/dive sites. Restaurants, places to stay and some history of the island make this a very thorough guidebook. Posted on August 30, 2010 Melani Walthour says... Paul deserves a chair on the board of directors at each and every Guide publishing company. his book is THAT good. I just arrived in Dominica and I always refers to his book when I'm visiting the island. Everything is there with all the needed information. The truth is, native Domincans you'll meet on your journeys keep praising Paul, saying he deserves a Dominican medal for his extensive and amazing work. Get that book to visit Dominca, you won't need any other one. Posted on August 31, 2010 Tamesha Graciana says... I'm on my way to Dominica as I write. Jonathan Bird's book arrived in my hands too late to influence my plans, but it wouldn't have changed much. The pictures are lovely, especially the under-water shots, but the text is less than meager. This is a photo album, not in any way a guide to Dominica either for a tourist or for an aesthetic traveler. I "humbly" expect to take photos on land that will match Mr. Bird's technically, and will have more meaning in the form of resonance with my memories of the actual places. The under-water pictures are beyond my skill, and earn the four stars I'm giving this book. Posted on September 1, 2010 Chang Honeycut says...

Informative, step by step, you actually can visualize walking the streets as explained in detail.All areas of the island were clearly covered.This guide was just what I needed to learn about the country before visiting.
