Grenada, Isle of Spice

This is the best, most comprehensive guide to Grenada we have found yet. As we are moving to Grenada, we had a challenge find information beyond the normal tourist spiel. The book was obviously written by a native Grenaian and she shares all kinds of insightful and sometimes humorous anecdotes on island life. I can see why she has updated the book so many times. Actually it could probably use updating once again as things seem to have changed again since hurricane Ivan in 2005. The book was last updated in 2000 I believe. Still, if you want to get the scoop on the character of Grenada, this book is the best, period.

This book was everything I expected. It's very good as a preview for visiting the island. The history gets a little dry after awhile; otherwise, a pretty good book.
