 A pretty good read Apr 01, 2008
The story line has been done before in different contexts, but I enjoyed the cruise through the generational waters .. For me the real benefit is to absorb some of Belize's 20th century history painlessly. Ditto for the cultural information

Good Entertainment Apr 04, 2003
I was born and raised in Belize City and after living in the USA for almost twenty years I thoroughly enjoyed a trip down memory lane while turning the pages of Belize, a novel. This work gives a good description of Belizean culture, politics (colonial times and after independence), history, geography and commerce of our unique Caribbean / Central American country.

 Excellent Book! Apr 03, 2003
I was happy to get my hands on a copy of Carlos Miller's book "Belize".
I read it from cover to cover in one sitting!! The story is authentic, the characters realistic, and I really felt that I was living back in that time. His descriptions of the people, the city, the politics, were vivid and colorfull - It even brought back the smell of the old, open sewers to memory! Scenes of the old market, the creole language, the German SS-turned-bush pilot, the names of the boats - These all dig up old memories of my childhood.
I recommended this book to a close friend who is a lecturer at the University of Belize, and she loved it!
Recently, I had the pleasure of reading Carlos's other book as well - Panama! It is equally as good!2 thumbs up!!

one great book Apr 02, 2003
I have travelled to Belize a dozen times and am building a small factory there, so anything that relates to Belize is of interest to me. Carlos has put together a scenario that is very easy for me to imagine as true. I have met many people in Belize that could have easily come from the pages of this book. I read it front to back without stopping. It was too hard to put down. While fictious, it certainly reflects the reality of Belize, the country!
