Judging from your bookshelf you're really sth, Galigali wrote:I am not really fond of John Grisham’s novels, so don't think this book is for me. I am glad you enjoyed the book, though. Nice review!


Thank you for the comment, but this book, like I tried to point out is more than the J Grisham's light humour, so.

Thank you, Njeri, that was too kind, now I feel impeccableAna Njeri wrote:This is an amazing review. Your description and use of vocabularies are impeccable. I have to admit though that when i first looked at the book title for the first time, I thought maybe it is a children's book. Then I read your review and I was convinced that this is one of the must have novels on my shelf. Thanks your for an amazing review

It has a kind of old style to it but I know you will manage it.

I think this is the most enthusiastic review I've seen of this novel. I've been ignoring it. Nice review.

Well, I liked Charles Dicken, what can I say? Haha, there's something really priceless about books written in the old style but are still readable, and this one was one of them.juliusotinyo wrote:Hi,

Important question: What do you do about the BOTD that requires you to use Amazon unlimited?

Well, thank you, Isabel May! Am just getting the hang of this, it's exciting, and you are a fresh of breath of airIsabelMay wrote:The cover is fantastic, I knew I'd love the book from the moment I saw it. I like that it's humorous but it engages the reader due to the complex plot. You did an amazing job for your first review, well done.

I too loved the book cover from the moment I saw it, I don't why some guys didn't like the cover.
Anyway, I submitted a review yesterday and it has to go thru some verification process, blurb and all, if it gets posted I'll be sure to tag you or sth. I'll shortly be visiting your reviewer page
