The storyline of this book seems intriguing. It's not everyday that the struggles of a country is seen through the eyes of a 15 - year old.
I look forward to reading this book and finding out the outcome of his decision.

The plot with a young man and a drone seems quite unique. Also looks like it has the potential to be made into a movie/TV series. Congratulations on being listed as Book Of the Day.

It's so sad what Lemba had to go through against his will. It's surprising that children, like him, are facing this same problem all over the world. Good review.

I would like to read about this Congolese boy, Lemba. How did he manage his saddening situation? What intrigue did he build up with his knowledge and use of technology? Great review.

'Official Review: Drone Child: A Novel of War, Family, and Survival' by David H. Rothman has an informative introduction. The main points related to the book have been stated vividly in the review. The point that author used the protagonist's inner conflicts to lay out the possibilities both in both the hands of evil versus its use in the hands of good people is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the book is well-researched and includes a personal note from the author, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the story is fascinating, eye-opening, and suitable for a broader range of readers!

Lemba's trials sure started early. At 15? I really hope he overcame his issues and came out successfully. Nicely written review.

The plot seems engaging. The character of the fifteen-year-old was thrilling to read. However, I didn't fully connect to the story because I'm not an avid lover of fiction books. I recommend it to people who loves fiction stories. Congrats on BOTD.

These terrorists have this idea of recruiting children and using them for silly missions. I hope Lemba is able to escape their clutches and do good for his people. Thanks for the amazing review.
