An amazing read/listen. It's one of the most rewarding listening experiences that I've ever had. James has a lifetime fan in me.

Amazing!!. The story is gripping, the characters complex, and the takeaways endless.

Horrible. Stay clear of this book. It is so horrible. So convoluted. It is as if the author is trying to drain all the interest out of the events he's representing.

A motley crew in Jamaica. A Brief History of Seven Killings is one of the most entertaining stories I've read.It is told from the perspective of multiple characters living in Jamaica, and revolves around the blood feud of two political parties, the CIA,and the attempted assassination of Bob Marley.Marlon James has written a book that is excessively violent(it may be repugnant to some readers),wickedly funny,and ambitious in scope.It is an unforgettable story.

Great novel. This is a really great book. It is the kind of novel Victor Hugo or Leo Tolstoy would have written had they been born in the late 20th century ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica instead of France or Russia. It is a challenging book in both length, scope and number of characters. It is also mostly written in the Jamaican patois spoken in Kingston. While one can follow the dialog from context, I would strongly recommend that readers unfamiliar with patois find a glossary which will translate the patois into English. Those glossaries are readily available on the Internet. The extra effort is well worth the time. While much has been made of the violence in the book none of it is gratuitous or especially grisly. All of it is essential to the story. Readers willing to accept the challenges this novel presents will be richly rewarded.

Literary genius. This book, reads as smooth as silk- the characters, settings, and interpersonal relationships are nothing less than stunning. I dare you to put it down.
