“Eiffel Tower, Pride of Haiti” by Gerard Germain sheds light on the complicated history of Haiti, sociopolitical problems, as well as the continuous efforts towards hope and development. The book comprises twenty-four chapters, which focus on many aspects related to problems and chances in Haitian context.

It is an informative narrative that draws attention as well as forces to think about what took place in Haiti and what might possibly happen in the nearest future. The author writes eloquently with passion, giving a frank picture of his country’s ordeals and achievements.

Among the strengths of the book is the deep discussion on Haiti’s historical aspects and how they affected relations with France coupled with residual effects of colonialism. The story acquires a human element with Germain’s personal anecdotes and life experience, which make it engaging as well as touching.

The author is full of passion in this book as he suggests some options that could help solve Haiti’s chronic challenges. Unity is the key in development, education and self-belief must be inbuilt in their mind if they are to develop as a nation.

Nevertheless, I found a couple of things that could have been better in the book. Moreover, several chapters are disorderly and there is no apparent cohesion or direction to the story line. Besides, though one can sense the author’s ardency, there appear instances where the writing turns too touching.

The book mostly presents itself in good shape where there are rare spelling mistakes or typographical blunders. This alone testifies how long and intricate this book was and the author’s commitment towards having one quality book.

I rate “Eiffel Tower, Pride of Haiti” 4 out of 5 stars. It is a remarkable and informative book that focuses on the past of Haiti as well as modern issues. It has an appeal or a call to act promising better days ahead. Even though it could be better organized and the author sometimes gets too emotional, the book has a lot of valuable information and the author really cares about the subject. It's a good choice if someone wants to learn about Haiti's history, what's happening there now, and what might happen in the future.

Marina, I often forget this genre is actually fiction when reading these reviews! This books sounds like a thought-provoking read. I enjoy reading about both history and politics and their impact on a global scale. This story is another example of just that. I am curious about the title and how it fits into the narrative. I guess I'll have to read it to find out! I enjoyed reading your review, thanks for sharing! Until next time...
