Conch Bearer is a fine book
A wonderful I should say for myself, with an astounding writing of the author.
I say this book is one of the best books I've ever read.

The Conch Bearer
Even from the start, it didn't capture me. I found myself skipping chunks and still not missing out on the base f the story. I found that it went on and on and 'waffled.' This book changed my mood-for the worst. I found myself irritable and angry-- not a good read, I don't recommend it.
