This is an intriguing review. It gives a holistic experience of the book without giving much away. I'd genuinely like to read this book too; it is just the kind of fantasy novel I'd peruse with a jar of peanuts and my legs up on a chair after a long day at work.

Such unputdownable fantasy/adventure book. The type of book that will cause the mind to wander around. Hermits like me will feel like embarking the sudden journey in mind eye while reading this tale. Definitely a great read to all fans of fantasy/adventure genres.

Wow! Sounds like an exciting book. I don't particularly like insects but the description of his riding a dragonfly makes me want to find out more. Great review!

I like the title of the book. It does much to the imagination of the reader, especially that name "Santalamanchia". It gives that magical, mysterious vibe. Kudos to the reviewer for highlighting key takeaways from the book like the vivid description and the use of old English. It adds to the overall experience. A meticulous author, indeed.

The above review of Riley Youngblood and the Passport to Santalamanchia is quite interesting and well thought through.It made me feel very exciting to read this book in real with great curiosity.It clearly introduced the story in the beginning so that the reader can get to know the plot to a good extent. The coming paragraphs did two jobs: digged deep into the plot of the book and giving reflection about the writer’s quality skill in the narration which brought out a magical flavor of mystery, thrill and great deal of adventure. There is a good coherence among paragraphs in the review, I did not feel as if I was distracted from one theme to the other,everything was well connected.The reviewer vividly mentioned that what he liked about the story,narrative and style of writing. He gave 4 out of 4 star to the book with good justification. Last but not the least the review was well in line with review guidelines of the onlinebookclub.org.

Hi @Janet Kimetto, I just read your comments on the official review of "Riley Youngblood and the Passport to Santalamanchia and I found the book appealing to adults as well as teens. This is an amazing sci-fi story that enables Riley to travel to a parallel dimension to save people from the control of Romax. I put this story into the same genre as Star Wars that appeals to all. The intrigue of the Passport and the fact that only Riley can read it while others see a blank notepad piqued my interest and I purchased the ebook since I want to learn how the story evolves. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @ McDonald Lauren, I just read your comments on the official review of "Riley Youngblood and the Passport to Santalamanchia" and I agree it is an exciting story that follows Riley's journey to a parallel dimension to save people from Romax. I liked the sample so much that I purchased the ebook so I can join Riley on his journey and learn what happens to Riley and the people in Santalamanchia. The story makes me think about the first Star Wars movie and I wonder how this book could come to the big screen. @Mrlefty0706
