Review of The Seed of Freedom
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Seed of Freedom" by Eamonn Robinson.]
The Seed of Freedom is a biography by Eamonn Robinson. It is divided into two parts and based on real events that occurred in the early 20th century. The piece tells the true story of two brothers, Sam and Christy, and their journey into adulthood. The two boys enjoyed a simple childhood with their mother. But after the bloody rebellion against the British forces during the Easter of 1916, called The Rising, both brothers realized they had to join the other freedom fighters to stand against their oppressors. They soon recognize their talent and love for football, and they both decide to work towards professional careers. However, everything comes to a grinding halt at the start of the First World War, and both brothers are forced to leave their families to defend and fight for Ireland. Will they survive the dangerous conflict despite the odds placed against them? Pick up a copy of this book to find out more.
There were a lot of positive aspects to find in this book. I gained some knowledge about the various weapons and artillery used in the early 20th century. I liked the fact that the author used simple language and easy-to-understand terminology. The book was concise. The precise dates and details suggest that the author did extensive research before writing this book. I believe it's fantastic that he was able to convey his father's story in such an authentic way.
Additionally, the book covered a few key themes that are relevant to today's modern world. In my opinion, loyalty in the face of adversity should be the most crucial factor. Sam and Christy both understood that if they did nothing and just stood by, they would end up contributing to the problem at hand. Despite their youth, the brothers made the decision to do everything in their power to defend the Irish people against their British oppressors.
The author's message, in my opinion, is that readers should learn how to uphold moral principles and properly promote justice. Because of the author's skill in developing emotionally complex characters, the story was more enjoyable and believable. Seeing Sam get over his anger issues and grow into a confident and responsible man was indeed motivating. Also, I found fewer than ten errors in the book, so I believe that the book was professionally edited.
There is nothing I disliked about this book. As a result, I have decided to rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed reading the book. The book ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, and I hope for an opportunity to learn more about the journey of the Robinson brothers in a sequel book. I recommend this book to lovers of action and war books. I also recommend this biography to mature readers because of the strong language and extreme battle scenes.
