I love the idea of a white crow - Sally - as a sidekick, might be a very fun read! Thank you for the explanation and the review.

Wow, this book really said " all in one". Having to mix fantasy, Sci-Fi and poetry/music, that's genius. Congratulations on BOTD and great review.

It really felt like a different kind of sci-fi. With the characterizations and inclusion of poetry, it will be worth reading. The storyline is interesting and the message is carries didactic. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Thanks for a great review. I'm not usually a fan of sci/fi, but this does seem like one for young adults. I'm not sure about mixing QRs and poetry with sci/fi, but I'm sure that there are many who will enjoy this type of book. I did appreciate the author providing a backstory from the first book in the series for those of us who hadn't read it.

This work of art sounds uniquely fascinating. It has a blend of some of my favourite genres and characters - creatures, poetry and robots. Your review was insightful and a delight to read. Congrats to the author.

It's quite humorous for me that an author incorporates his true life and true name inside something that is fictionally crafted. I would like to know how this sci-fi is written, because it's only 92 pages, it is definitely the shortest sci-fi book I have seen and encountered.

Thank you for the review!

In this post-pandemic scenario, this sci-fi story seems quite relevant to the circumstances the entire world experienced in the last two years, and I would love to know about the cure for DP20 the protagonist finds.

The Great Awakening is the second instalment of a promising sci-fi/fantasy series. There is some great relevance to our current world and lessons we can learn from this fictional world.

Thank you for your delightful and honest review.
You have shown us some great parts of this book.
I truly enjoyed the parts of the sample that I was able to read. This was right up my ally.

After reading the sample I believe I would definitely enjoy this book. The sample left me hanging. I want to see if Jimmy uses the answer machine and if it replies, "Soon" for him as well. Nice review. I don't usually enjoy sci-fi but this one puts an interesting twist on that genre.

This book is a sequel but can be read alone since the author provided a thorough summary of the first book. This is sci-fi and it invovles finding a cure for a new virus threatening the world of Seymour, his wife Ruby and their children. A 92-page book about a virus that is just one of the Creature's evil plans to bring down the world. Good review.

This sounds like a uniquely fascinating book. This is definitely going to my list of book to read. This is unlike any sci-fi books I've read before. Congrats on BOTD!!

This is a short sci-fi reader participatory book with QR codes. Its e-book version has links to the internet. The protagonists work with other humans and robots as a unit to find the cure for a new virus threatening their world. There is the mysterious crow, the creature and other plans to bring the whole world to its knees. Love is the solution or is it? A nice creative work and a good book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!
