Review by Vickie Tash -- Culture Man by Guy Cook
Culture! Culture! ; People’s way of life. Is it good to live according to one’s culture? If one has to bury the old ways to live a modern life, many times people forget their culture and claim to be modernized and terming culture as backwardness, but what’s the reality of this? As you read this novel, Culture Man by Guy Cook, you will get to understand how valuable one’s culture is. This novel explores culture, likes, and hobbies of individuals, friendship and molding of one’s character.
The novel introduces Rob, a character who likes table tennis and would practice much to win a tournament. She is so dedicated to it and spends much of her time on it.
We are passionate about different things; adventure, job, money, etc. Rob on the contrary goes for tennis. The plot develops and we meet other characters such as Rodgers, Paul, and Marianne. The interaction of these characters builds on the main theme of this novel. At the start, Rob finds it hard to make good scores but she does pretty well since she’s been coached by Paul? Persistence and determination is a good virtue. Rob is a perfect example to illustrating this in this book.
Culture Man by Guy Cook explores further on friendship, about spending time together, Rob and Paul spend much time together as friends, discussing tennis as well as teenage life. Also, Liam, the child to Marianne is discussed as s child who is friendly as he can socialize with all male friends despite knowing his biological father, who had divorced her mum.
The character I like the most is Rob; she is so dedicated and persistent in her hobby. She does much practice and despite failing in several tournaments, she is so persistent and has a strong desire to win. I least liked Kante. She is so selective on whom she wants to date and yet she’s not sociable. When Rob and Paul are having a conversation about her, it’s clear that this character is a classy kind of a character.
The novel can suit any age group as it explores themes that affect a large group of individuals, young, youths, and the aged. Indeed, it explores culture and hobbies, trying to build on one’s hobby and having interests and been persistent to be the best in it. Culture is to be practiced by any gender and age group; this makes this novel suitable for all kinds of readers.
The novel is one of a kind, so interesting; the flow of events is flawless and so captivating. It lacks typos r and has been professionally edited, the author's choice of style and characters is commendable and her narration is vivid. All this explains why I give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars . The book is memorable and has very relatable lessons. You will thank me for the recommendation.
