"One Last Summer" by Craig Christophel is a book in which Raif is the protagonist. Raif is a young man with a laid-back attitude who will be celebrated as a hero by the local town because of the heroic deeds he has done. I like that Raif has a strong moral code.

I didn't get much of a sense of the story's plotline from the review, just character experiences. So, I'll be skipping this for now and perhaps check out other reviews to get a better handle on the story. Congrats, though, to the author on BOTD.

From the review, One Last Summer talks about the experiences of Raif Zachariah Bonif during a very unusual summer period. Am anxious to learn about Raif's dreaming capabilities and how the dreams made him end up like.

The review is beautifully expressive of the book. The gift of being a dreamer and sticking to a moral code makes the character interesting to know his reactions and actions with those around him. The story combines sci -fi with paranormal mystery. Congrats on BOTD

There appears to be a surrealist vibe as the protagonist goes on strange adventures, meets strange people, and has lucid dreams. Even so, it remains rooted in reality since it addresses contemporary social concerns.

"One Last Summer" by Craig Christophel sounds interesting as it is a story about Raif, who is a dreamer. Having such an incredible ability to remember dreams sounds fun, and it comes with greater responsibility. I would love to know what such dreams were and what the teacher's instructions were. The story is indeed unique and captivating. well reviewed.     
Congratulations on being BOTD!

Latest Review: Romance Trilogy Book 1 - Endless Echoes of the Soul by M. R. Avis

Post by Amanda Brouillette Gladden »

Books that takes readers on a journey through dreams fascinates me. This one sounds very well-written and not unnecessarily drawn out. I like the idea of Raif being able to use his dreams for good in life. It talks strong morals not to take advantage of a gift like his. I'm interested to see how his story plays out.

This book appears to be a compelling blend of realism and the supernatural, creating a unique narrative that keeps readers engaged. The protagonist, Raif, is not only relatable due to his strong moral code but also intriguing because of his supernatural abilities as a 'gifted dreamer.' Nice review.
