Yes, that is very true. Thanks for replying.

I like this book because I have never read of a plot like this one. I like that each character Baingana meets he learns more about humility and how to be a better person towards others. I also like that he meets Sophia on a train and I can easily picture the business of the train station. I understand how a the ideas put forth in this book are not new and I agree with your rating.

jemgirl202 wrote: 08 Dec 2017, 11:16 While reading the review, the description reminds me of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. A man needs to change his ways, so he meets 3 unlikely people who help him see the errors of his ways. Anyone who is looking to read about a spiritual journey is bound to enjoy this. Congrats on book of the day! Great review!
Good point-I didn't make the connection to A Christmas Carol. Thanks for reading the review and replying.

rusyalana wrote: 08 Dec 2017, 12:22 It sounds like a psychological book. For me Abner, Inesa and Sophia are like the three spirits of Christmas who've come to reform a person
Good point-you are the second reader to notice the similar theme to Dickens A Christmas Carol. Thanks for your reply.

ascor001 wrote: 08 Dec 2017, 12:57 The book is one of my best as with the name I just feel I need to know what 'Dancing with Sophia' mean.
Sophia is the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom. So to dance with Sophia is a metaphor for being able to act wisely. Thanks for reading the review and replying.

Thanks for noticing that, as I always try to provide the type of information that I would like to see in trying to decide whether or not to invest in a book.
