Review by buckskinridah -- Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King" by David W. Sutherland and Paul McKellips.]
The book Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King seems to be set in the biblical era and begins with a Bedouin boy being sent on a mission to replenish his families herd of sheep and goats after an army carrying a king and his daughter are fed with the bedouins entire herd of animals. Bedu has a few mishaps along his journey and is faced with a dilemma before he can buy the new herd of livestock for his family.
Once Bedu meets with his relative he is given an opportunity to change his occupation, a change that will make him a very different person. He must fulfill a promise to check on the princess during this time and he plans a way to complete all of his tasks efficiently. After Bedu's change of occupation he finds it difficult to change the image in his mind of the person that he has become, once he finds the wisdom of the power in belief in oneself many things change in his life. There is a third and last evolution as Bedu then begins to teach others the new found knowledge and skills that he has gained.
I believe that the intention of David W. Sutherland and Paul McKellips is to use the book as a teaching tool for entrepreneurs as a useful reminder of values and ethics. The book reads very much like a biblical fable as it is purposefully short, but also entertaining, while never straying from the goal of teaching these wisdoms.
This book was professionally edited, I believe because I only found two grammatical errors throughout the entire story. There does appear to be a formatting flaw where the lesson or value is highlighted on its own page, there are a couple of words that to not show on the page. There are no profane words or explicit material of any kind in this book. The language is clean, the dialog is consistent and I find that is a very wholesome read. If I had to choose any element that I disliked, I would choose the lack of development with the relationship between Bedu and the princess, he is described and loving her with all of his heart yet his character does not seem to show the sentiment.
I give this book a 4 out of 4 because it is an excellent book, it is well written with proper grammar and spelling, as well as being a book that any age group can read, learn from and enjoy. The book is very well written and has a wonderful folklore storybook feel to it while offering to teach values, morals and some of the most important basic essentials for living a fulfilling life.
