The Armour of Light is a book by Andrew Webb. The events portrayed in this book are based on true events. Steve Harrison and his wife and son, Natalie and Alex, moved into their new home located on the Surrey-Hampshire border. When they got there, Steve switched on the heater to warm the rooms. But on getting to the biggest room, to his surprise, he found the room to be chill. He resorted to using electric fires, yet the temperature of the room stayed unchanged. They passed the incident off as simply because no one had inhabited the house for a long time, which made the air stagnant. Unknown to them at the time was the knowledge that the house was haunted. After a series of paranormal episodes, their enormous suspicion was verified. The house was haunted. They contacted some pastors to carry out an exorcism, but the house stood in defiance of the exorcism. They had just moved into the house, so leaving wasn't an option. Will they be successful in chasing the ghosts haunting the house away?

I found some aspects of the book worth commending. There wasn't a plethora of characters in the narrative, and because of this, readers weren't given the stressful chore of memorizing many names. The author's writing style was easy to understand without the use of ambiguous terminology that might have confused readers. The storyline is engaging, and my attention was maintained throughout the reading. The conclusion of the book was unexpected, as I had made up a different scenario of how it would end. Nonetheless, this sufficiently portrays the unpredictability of the book. It was good to discover that the author gave the reason for such a climax.

Although it was only a sentence and could easily be skipped or neglected by readers, I appreciated that it was present in the book. It was Julia's advice to Alex. She advised him to clean his teeth before going to bed, as he had eaten enough cake earlier in the day. This goes a long way toward portraying the importance of proper hygiene. Washing the teeth before sleeping every night will get rid of bacteria that might grow in there and also greatly improve one's oral health.

I found Natalie's behavior after the tragic incident that happened to Steve appalling. She moved on rather quickly, and I was left wondering if she loved Steve. Her stubbornness also irked me. She was advised by her neighbor, Lena, to avoid going out for some time because of a bad dream she had been having. But she didn't take the advice, and what could have been easily avoided occurred. I was heartbroken.

I'll rate this book four out of five stars. I noticed uncountable numbers of wrong uses of punctuation marks, coupled with grammar and spelling errors. This sufficiently depicts that the level of editing carried out on the book is extremely poor. The plot is intriguing, but the presence of errors disrupts its smooth flow. To remedy this and make the book perfect, I'll advise the author to subject this book to another round of meticulous editing.

I recommend The Armour of Light to readers who are enthusiasts of books with storylines incorporating supernatural and paranormal themes. This book wouldn't be suitable for kids because of the incessant use of profanities.

What a wonderful review! It shows deep understanding of the review and now, after reading your review, I can't wait to get my hands on this book.

[Chris Azuka]

Wow....the book seems to me like a horror movie. The whole concept of not being able to turn on the light is intriguing. I would love to get a copy of the book. Thanks for your review.

[Newestobc]

I like your review. It is very straightforward and clear. Congrats on your published review and I look forwards to more from you.

[Favour Ozone]

I'm terrified with what I just read from your review. I'm not really a fan of horror books. This book isn't for me. Thank you for your honest review.

[Anthony Ekemezie]

My first thought when I saw this book was that it is a spiritual book, but I am happy that I was wrong. From your review I can tell that this is an interesting work of fiction.

[Cynthia Christabel Okolobi]

Wow. The fact that this book is is based on real events is crazy. I cannot imagine living in a haunted house. It will be so scary and uncomfortable

[Judy O]

Wow... from the review I think I'd love to read this book already. I wonder why that room was always chill and what the exorcists discovered. This is quite an interesting book. Beautiful review.

[Silvia Idahosa]

I'm not so much a fan of paranormal books, but your review captured the idea of the book well. I can't help but be curious about what happened because Natalie failed to take her neighbour's advice. Nice review.

[Jerry Anozie]

This book seems horror. I do hear of exorcism but the question does it really work were do the demon enters when cast. Am getting a copy of this book to get more information about exorcism.

[Temi Book]

Wow! I think this is my first time coming across a book based on ghost stories. Haunted houses are another world of its own. I don’t think I can stay in one, no matter what.

[Park Cherri]

Staying in haunted houses will be very scary, cold, and uncomfortable, not to talk of if the ghosts are violent. I can’t even imagine myself in one. Nice review!

[UcheNduka]

Such a thrilling story. I was captivated by the paranormal fiction.
I'm suspecting that Natalie was mesmerized by the event, which explains her weird behaviour. I could be wrong though.
I love your well-detailed review.

[Chukwuemeka Ezema]

I love ghost books and I would definitely read this one. I would like to know if they were successful with driving out the ghosts even if exorcism didn't work. Great review.

[Joyce Nwaogazie]

The Armour of Light my Andrew Webb would be a book replete with a plethora of paranormal activities that might send shivers down reader's spines. I look forward to reading this book. Thanks for the well-written review.
