Review of Malino: The Orphan Road

[Stephanie Elizabeth]

This isn't really my cup of tea. A evil, blind baby sounds like a sci-fi horror book, and the topics covered seem too heavy. Thanks for the detailed review.

Your summary made me want to read this read book. While reading the first chapter, I too thought there were too many errors. However, after reading about Malino's birth, I believe that what I thought were errors in the first part of the chapter were not errors but how Malino and Griffol speak. Thank you for the detail you provided in your recommended audience section. I know that this is not the book for me because of the sensitive topics.

This is the kind of book that make me wonders how things will end. What kind of happy ending Malino will get? Very informative review. Thank you!

[Laura Weber]

Situations as the one described in the summary of the review, and shown in the sample of the book are still known in distant regions in por countries. Love of the orphan for the people that misstreated him is logical, the orphan survive because if these people. The mixed feelings of this orphan are very interesting. I congratulate both the author of the review and of the book. Thank you very much!

Poor Malino was to be abandoned at such a young age and still suffered untold hardship through his life journey. In as much the storyline interests me, I won't be able to enjoy reading the book because of the sexual content and profanities. Congratulations on BOTD.

[Joyce Nwaogazie]

I love the book cover, it is artistic and can grab readers' attention. The themes present in this book are interesting. I look forward to reading it. Congratulations on being the Book of The Day.

Malino's characterization seems intriguingly interesting in this setting, as it appears in the story that the road ahead for Malino is not smooth. It would be interesting to know how he overcomes the adverse circumstances in which he is thrown.

[Creole]

Malino certainly had it rough. I want to read on to find out how he fared. Insightful review. The author has an entertaining fiction. I hope he will fix the errors.

[Scerakor]

It sounds like lovers of historical fiction will really enjoy Malino's journey in a life of discrimination, slavery, political oppression, and economic oppression.

[Cheryl Erickson]

After reading a sample of the book, I was amazed how Malino persevered through every difficult circumstance throughout his early life, along with being treated so poorly by most of his caretakers. I'd be interested to see what happens as he becomes an adult. Thank you for your candor in this book review.

"Malino: The Orphan Road" is a fantasy story that includes a blind, evil-eyed baby who would bring curses on the city. Many disabled babies are kept at the nunnery until they are old enough to be sold to woodcutters and miners to serve as quasi-indentured labor. Grillo pays the 20 lire and a load of wood per month to pay for Malino's care. This book is a book I would like to add to my to-read list. This an excellent book that has morals. I look forward to reading the book. Very good review.

[Leslie Kunde]

I can not imagine a baby being called evil,nor a young boy being sold. Just your review makes my heart hurt. Thank you for the review and the warning about the content.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction about how a woodcutter saved a blind baby before he is killed. The woodcutter takes the baby to an orphanage to grow up until he is old enough to join the woodcutter. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

[Raquel Sojo]

An intriguing story with a fairly deep context. It is always interesting to find stories that run parallel to the war. I hope the author can improve on the errors present in the book, and of course, this is a book I want to read.

[Odala J Phiri]

Malino had luck meeting with Grillo at a point when he would be thrown away. This was a high level of kindness. This seems to be a great read. Thanks for the nice review.
