I reading this for sure as I've never read a fiction novel that contains the pollution angle with mystery, crime and action involve. Pollution is a worrisome subject so it's interesting that the author chose this subject. Congrats on an well written review.

This book sounds interesting, promoting environmental awareness in a fun way (by mixing sci-fi, adventure, and mystery). I can't help but wonder about the mysterious wolf-like animal (The Beast). Thanks for the review!

What I liked the most about the book was its environmental awareness angle. Above all, I felt that it offered an eye-opening look into the problems of chemical pollutants and their dreadful consequences to life. The author gives readers a taste of what the future could look like if we don’t control the damage to the environment.
- It only takes one person, or in this case, one book, to get the ball rolling & help control the damage to the environment. A well structured review. Thank you.

Latest Review: God is Willing by Charlene Murray

Post by Emeka Emordi »

The opening sentence captivates immediately – "Believing in God and having faith can be the greatest gifts in life." It sets the tone for what seems like a profound exploration of faith. I'm drawn to books that delve into the deeper aspects of spirituality, and this review suggests that "Because He Loved Us" does just that.

This book is a sci fiction still having a portion of environmental problems and awareness at a time where when thousands of dead fish started washing up on the shore near the small town of Eagle River, Wisconsin, it caused issues to the people and Buc felt the argue to find out what had caused this especially when he realized that there was a threat to the animals which might be caused by a strong and fast animal which might be a wolf or any other beast. This book is interesting because it leaves you with an urge to read more every after each page.

The meticulous exploration of Jesus' life, from his birth to ministry, offers a comprehensive understanding. I appreciate how the author takes the time to unravel the prophecies and historical context surrounding these events. It seems like a thoughtful approach that adds depth to the narrative.

Northern Umbrage by Dennis Lorenz is an intriguing read about Buc, a young environmental pathologist investigating mysterious occurrences in town. The author has captured my attention with the unique plot; it has a mystery angle while raising ecological issues affecting all humankind. I am also eager to read more about the budding romance between Buc and Sadie. Congratulations on the BOTD!
