Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bravo!
Review: Exceptional! A metegee is a traditional Guyanese dish with everything included and that's exactly what this is. As a daughter of Guynana, I was blown away. This will be my gift to all family members for the next year. Metegee includes culture, politics, sayings and was a fascinating study of life in a British post-colony. I was never bored reading it and suggest not only that all Guyanese families own one, but all Caribbeans. For a self-publishing volume, this book was very well done. I would love to take a class with the creative and gifted author.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I am proud to be Guyanese-American after reading this. I find it hilarious that Rampersoud with the negative review didn't even get the author's name right! A great resourse!

Summary: Metegee
Review: In a nutshell, Metegee is a treasure chest of Guyana's who, why, when, where, what and how. Abrams covers Guyana in all aspects of our history and culture. On a scale of one to ten, Metegee is a big, fat ten. A must have for every Guyanese or anyone else who may wish to know as much of Guyana as they possibly can.

Summary: Plane spoken and informative
Review: My son wanted to do a book report about Guyana, but I left so long ago that I couldn't really be helpful. I bought this book on Amazon & my son got an A! Excellent. Thank You, Mr. Abrams. A Must Have for any serious Guyanese person, or anyone interested in Carib culture period!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Classic Guyanese
Review: Ovid Abrams did a super job with this piece of writing. It takes discipline to work very hard. In my opinion, in general, Guyanese people should support writers. Writing requires courage. Metegee is now a powerful asset and resource for the aspiring writers in Guyana. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Thank You Mr. Ovid Abrams.
