Comments by Jamaica Observer regular columnist Tony Robinson

I grew up reading, and a good stirring novel is a godsend. Well a book entitled Runnings, written right here in Jamaica by David Wong Ken rocked me. If this book was ever made into a movie it would be a smash hit. I thought I was reading our daily newspapers. How relevant it was! I hope that our literary critics like Mervyn Morris and Company will review it and let you know more. The author is a lawyer who certainly has his finger on the pulse of Jamaican runnings. To tell the truth, I was pleasantly surprised at how good and on-the-button it was. We really have talent in this country. People, unnoo must read more, TV isn’t all.
