Review by Espie -- Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon

[Espie]

From a sampling, this is an interesting adventure story. From the vivid description of the scenery to the well written plot, the reader feels like they are along for the adventure with the main character while exploring Olympic National Park. Well Done.

This book turned out different from what I initially expected it to be, but I do hope you'd read and find it as worthwhile as I did. Thank you for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.

Strong Heart is not my kind of book to read. It's alright that tells a fictional tale about a headstrong orphan and her interactions with her grandparent in a journey through a park for honouring or remembering an ancestor. But right now it doesn't attract my likes. Either way. Congratulations.

I understand that we all have our unique perspectives and choices. That doesn't mean that only one is right and all others are wrong or vice versa. I respect your viewpoint.

This is another one I need to get to reading! I love the sound of it...the traditions, the journey, and the clash between the younger and older generations, and perhaps finding a common ground. Your review is very insightful and makes me want to read this all the more. Thanks for that.

I love a good mix of realism and fantasy, especially when it involves folkloric tradition. The character dynamics also sound captivating for the tension they could cause, if nothing else. It's also relief that the proofreading errors are minimal and can easily be fixed without detracting from the story. Thank you for the thorough review.

I sampled the book on Amazon. This is a story with the theme of adventure in the natural surroundings of the Pacific Northwest and North Pacific region. Human emotions are also a significant aspect of this story. Sarah visits her grandfather Tom and they begin an adventurous journey together. The story is written in an intriguing manner. Cheers

Lovely review on BOTD , an outdoor adventure of Sarah, who learns how to become a part of the team without losing her independent spirit.

This is a very detailed description of the book. It's good you mentioned that this book will not appeal to those who love factual historical information. The name Bob-bob is also catchy. I hope she enjoyed the adventure and time with her great-great-grandfather. Thanks for the review.

I love the author's gift for storytelling, his sense of humour and the beautiful descriptions in the book. What starts like a backpacking adventure through Olympic National Park turns into a journey of discovery in "a land of magic, history and legend." Thanks for a wonderful review!

I agree. The author's years of research, experience, and collaborative efforts with others paid off in this piece, indeed. Thank you for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.

Thanks Espie for this wonderful review. I am on the verge of starting to read this book myself. Based on your review, I am in for an absolute treat. I loved the way you described the attributes of each character and showed them in contrasting shades.

Espie, I enjoyed the review that you did. I found it a bit technical and had to grab a dictionary to understand some of the words you used, "pedagogy" is going to be my new word when speaking about the education of my kids. I liked the fact that you did some homework on the author and included this in your review. Congrats on your book of the day review.

Words would just be as they are, but the effort and time you spend with your kids would really mean more. The author's years of research, experience, and collaborative efforts with others paid off in this piece as evident in its outcome. I just thought I should give it the in-depth treatment it deserves.

This sounds like a great as so many people seem to agree on that fact. I wonder how Tom would handle the situation with Sarah, his granddaughter, since he just discovered about her existence. Congratulations to the author for winning BOTD.

The author surely did well on this one.

I liked it when you said that the author integrated his own personal experiences and also some pieces of himself into the characters. It is one way to have the characters relatable and more genuine. Thanks for this review Ma'am! Glad you enjoyed it despite the few errors encountered.
