Review by evolbathan -- The Great Awakening
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Great Awakening" by Arthur F Seymour.]
The Great Awakening by Mr. Arthur F. Seymour is a sequel to his other book entitled Earth Won. I honestly didn’t have the chance to read the first one, but Mr. Seymour provided a summary of it before introducing the first chapter of this book. Upon reading that summary, I didn’t find any difficulty in comprehending the sequel.
The Great Awakening is a sci-fi book about Seymour and his smart and resourceful family. The story revolves around ways to finally defeat The Creature and his evil plan. One of his plans is the emergence of a very contagious disease named DP20 virus. That virus put a lot of people in a coma by millions all around the world. Seymour, with his wife Ruby and their kids, teamed with Doctor Paul and their robot friends to find a cure and defeat The Creature. This team is an unusual but perfect one. Some of them have special powers, some have technical capabilities, and some have inner desires to defeat enemies without using violence. How would the team defeat their enemies? Wait for the mysteries and unexpected help that will come along their way.
The unique part of this book is the inclusion of QR codes. These codes are linked to the internet, so the readers can hear the characters singing a song and can change the codes to become a Dynamic Editor. Aside from those codes, the poems that the characters recited also amazed me. My favorite one is Stacey’s poem entitled “The Bug and the Flea.” It talks about how our small gestures can make a big difference in the vast universe.
I recommend this book to everyone, especially to those who enjoy reading poems and to those looking for hope during this pandemic time. The characters in the story were also placed under lockdown, but they displayed faith and obedience to the leaders and medical health workers of their community. And those somehow lessen the problem and made the community more united.
Another amazing thing about this story is it was written by an electrical engineer. No wonder there are robots and some technical words related to signals and bits of the computer. As a reader, I enjoyed the way he incorporated the robots as one of the main characters. It somehow represented that robots are not the end of humanity, but are the seeds of intelligence to help the community.
Since this is just a 92-page book, I found the story less descriptive. I think the author didn’t put much effort into defining the scenes and characters, so the reader could feel the tense of a particular setting. The pictures in the book are not that helpful to completely imagine how the characters looked like, since they are mixed cartoons and a real human. I feel like I was reading a short bedtime story. I guess it’s reasonable because the book contains fewer pages.
The book is reader-friendly and very well-edited. I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The reason I didn’t give a perfect score is that I want the story to become more dramatic and imaginative. I understand the author has limited writing skills and I am looking forward to his future works.
