Do you think adults, too, would enjoy reading "Dumb" Orphans: The Bundu Bunch Trilogy by Allan Low?

[Harshitha G B]

Definitely, because Adults can connect to kids & teens stories. It may connect to them by one or another means

[Shri McGaley]

As an adult, I did recognize the story was targeted towards children. However, I do appreciate the historical aspect of this book as well and was able to enjoy this book for that aspect. The aspects that were mostly targeted towards children such as the character dialogue, the narration style, etc, I found them cute and undeterring. So, yes, I do think adults would enjoy this if they were looking at it as a historical children's books with facts and thought-provoking aspects an adult can still enjoy.

[Martina Sette]

I think so. Of course, it’s a book more suited for little ones, but that doesn’t mean their parents won’t enjoy it too. Plus, they can learn different things together with their children.

[Jackie Holycross]

The way the book is narrated by a child makes it accessible to younger readers. But the topics of poverty, created family, and the plight of orphans definitely would be of interest to adults.

[Jodi Townsend]

I think adults would love to read this book with their kids. Not only is it educational, but it is also a topic that adults would enjoy. It would spark conversations between the kids and their parents, inviting an opportunity to discuss real-world issues and a chance for parents to prepare their kids for something they will face, in one form or another, as adults.

[Gerry Steen]

I did not know what to expect from this book. I bought it today. At the moment, I have read the first four chapters. I am enthralled. The narration style of Sipho, one of the orphans, is captivating. I am retired and this book does appeal to me. It is well-written, relatable, and interesting. Yes, adults would enjoy reading this story. I am grateful that I have been given the opportunity to read it.

[Ike Kass]

I feel that adults can also read this book. They will enjoy reading this book. It has class and is very good.

[Asario Fox]

I am sure they will. I think it is important adults do read the books their children read to participate in the experience and encourage more reading by showing real interest.

[Nati Jiniya]

I think most adults would read it to see if it's appropriate for children, but it could be nostalgic to them as well.

[Bavithra karthikeyan]

Yes I enjoyed reading the book. It gives you a different perspective of looking at the world from a child's point of view. So adults will also enjoy the book.

[Meghan Sica]

Most definitely! This book is not geared to just children, adults will enjoy it as well. The purpose of this book is to bring attention to the poverty and AIDS/HIV infected people of southern Africa who do not get the care they need and deserve because of their social status and lack of funding. I really appreciate that the author was able to put this information out there and bring light to such a dark part of life for these people.

[Chhaya Manna]

Yes, absolutely! While the book is certainly relatable to teenagers, its themes of resilience, determination, and the importance of overcoming adversity are universal and can resonate with readers of all ages.

[Magdalyne chebet]

Yes, adults can enjoy the book as it offers valuable life lessons, provides insights into privilege, and encourages reflection on societal issues, making it relatable and engaging beyond its target audience.

[Joe Alex 2]

Yes, I think adults would enjoy reading Dumb Orphans: The Bundu Bunch Trilogy by Allan Low. Even though it’s written for children, it covers important topics like resilience, social injustice, and the impact of HIV/AIDS, which can be meaningful for adults too. The story gives a good look at the struggles of orphans in Southern Africa, making it both interesting and eye-opening for older readers.

[Yasmine Zaki Muhieddine]

If adult would enjoy reading this book? Definitely! It is a beautiful story and it is well-written. It also offers a glimpse into an entirely different scenery (the village, the river, huts, and the small community living in absolute poverty,...). The kids didn't have much, they had their lot of misery, but they also knew how to have joy and laughter. It is not a sob story.
