Latest Review: "The Immigrant's Lament" by Mois benarroch

The Fruit of the Spirit

Post by nareadyns »

After reading your review, I'm still surprise that you can give it a 2 out of 4, you are generous.

There is nothing worse for readers than to get an clearly unprofessional book. You start a book with great expectations and end up being disappointed, personally I don't finish such a book.

Thanks

Hi Aldonsa, thanks for the compliment. I just googled Osho since I had never heard of him but after reading up about him I'm not sure that I would like his work. I prefer C.S Lewis.

It's a shame, but I've red only about Narnia :shifty:

Really? Using the work of another author without expressed permission? Wikipedia? I would've given this book a one-star review on those disrespectful grounds alone. Thanks for the honest review, saved me some time and effort.

Thank you for the insightful and honest review! I don't like when blurbs are deceiving and you get the opposite of what you expect. Especially, since here, it seemed like it went in a negative direction. Quoting from Wikipedia...all I have to say is = wow. I believe I will pass on this book. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for reading and commenting Riki. After reading your comment I think I should have given this 1 star indeed. I try to find positives in everything but I have to be more objective

Thanks for reading Hsimone. Deceitful blurbs area the worse when the book turns out to be bad but maybe one day I'll find a blurb that makes the book seem bad but it is really an amazing read.
