As a Nigerian, the book caught my attention because I want to know the author's viewpoint on Nigeria. The story features the commercial point of the country, Lagos, and its uniqueness. It's a great way to see my country represented in literature.

"Quest: Finding Freddie: Reflections from the Other Side" by Thomas Richard Spradlin seems to delve into profound themes of introspection and the unknown, offering a fresh perspective on life and existence beyond our earthly realm. I'm curious to explore how the author navigates these reflections and what insights they might offer into the human experience.

The summary that I was given in the select tab, it made it very interesting, and I wanted to find more about where Freddie could be missing. I love mystery books, although I'm always hesitant to open it because usually the endings are not always the way I would like it to end, but I decided to take a risk.

The historical aspect of the book drew me to the book. I have heard of coups in Africa but have not read books that vividly represent what it entails. As I read the blurb of the book, I fell 9in love with high expectations. Not bad!

I was interested in the book because I wanted to see the author’s perspective. Writing about a nation's history is no easy task, and I was impressed with the result. Thomas Richard Spradlin's Quest: Finding Freddie mixes historical nonfiction with adventure and personal reflection, offering cultural and political insights and stepping away from the author’s usual fantasy genre.

The exploration of justice, human rights, and the quest for truth are universal themes that I found compelling. Spradlin’s journey reflects broader societal issues, making the narrative not just a personal quest but also a commentary on important global topics.
