BOOK REVIEW!!

Guerrillas, by V. S. Naipaul

Guerrillas, by V. S. Naipaul, like Corelli's Mandolin, is set on an island. But unlike Corelli's Mandolin, where the characters feel things with passion and make great sacrifices and play mandolins, the characters in this book are deeply apathetic and are unable to affect their own behaviour and fail to play any musical instruments whatsoever.

I quite liked this novel. I told my mother and her man not to bother reading it because its narrative theme isn't identical to The Fountainhead and will therefore be offensive to them.

8/10
