It influenced me a lot because it was unique and I wanted to see why the title was named so. I was so in for a surprise.

The title didn't give away much about the book's contents, but as I read it, I understood how well they fit each other.

The title made it intriguing to read. Like who would call an orphan dumb? What would have been the backstory? That is what influenced me to read the book.

I saw the book title and cover and expected to have a simple read, it was quite what I expected. Kudos!

At first, the title did not really interest me. I really thought the cover and the title was geared toward a young audience. But as I began reading, I realized this book was definitely for a young adult and adult audience. The descriptions and vocabulary were more advanced than that of young children.

I actually didn't love the title. I don't want to read something if it calls its main characters dumb - it feels like the author doesn't like them very much. I can see that it is satirical now, but I found the title off-putting.

To be honest, the book title threw me off, and for a long while it was pushing me away from reading this book. I found it offensive. The kids being orphans is sad enough, qualifying them as dumb just made me angry.

I found the book title very intriguing, on three counts. First, it made me wonder why the orphans are labelled "dumb". Second, I found myself asking who are Bundu Bunch. And, third, the mention of a trilogy was inspiring because when I love a book, I always look to a reunion with my favorite characters and the trilogy offered this opportunity.

The title intrigued me because it was bold and unconventional, making me curious about the story behind the term "dumb" and how it relates to the orphans' journey.
