Review of "Dumb" Orphans

The key to success is willingness. And yes, you need resilience to handle any challenges that come your way, especially for orphan teenagers pursuing their dreams on their own. It saddens me to see how your own can become against you at times. It is enlightening to see light and love in the darkest path. Showing care and giving selflessly, even when you feel completely drained, is a true expression of love—expecting nothing in return.

Despite Samu and Meyego's taunts, I admire Aiyasha's toughness and bravery, which demonstrates that every child has potential.

Sounds like an inspiring and motivational book, one thing I deduced from this, is the fact that your foundation and origin no matter how bad doesn't have to determine you which is visible in the lives of the orphans who showed determination and resilience. Congratulations on BOTD!!

Aiyasha was orphaned at the age of 15, Aiyasha was given responsibility to take care with other seven orphan, poor Aiyasha didn't had d that chance to refuse because of her circumstances, those who are in power gave Aiyasha that huge responsibility without adequate food with unhealthy living conditions

Allan Low's book, "Dump Orphans," is quite a gripping read. It delves into the lives of children who are abandoned and left to fend for themselves. The narrative is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, showcasing the resilience and strength of these young characters. The storytelling is vivid, and the characters are well-developed, making it hard to put down. If you're into emotional and thought-provoking stories, this one might be right up your alley!

This is such a well-written and insightful review! I like how you highlighted the book’s powerful themes of resilience, determination, and social injustice. Your analysis of the characters and the contrast between selfless and egocentric leadership is particularly compelling. You captured the book’s impact beautifully, making it clear why it’s a must-read. Fantastic job!

"Dumb Orphans" is a powerful commentary on social inequality, the importance of compassion, and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It encourages readers to reflect on their responsibilities towards the less fortunate and highlights the potential for greatness that exists within everyone, regardless of their background.

In summary, the story is a compelling exploration of the lives of orphans, emphasizing the need for equality and support from society while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.

I also believe even if you are not privileged as long as you work hard and put your mind to something you can always excel and become successful. Great review

"Dumb" Orphans by Allen Low follows the inspiring story of 15 year old Aiyasha's perseverance. She is put in charge of seven other orphans from the aids crisis in South Africa. They have lost their parents and labeled "Dumb" but they prove everyone wrong in this inspiring, well written, and heartwarming story. This book is great for young and older readers alike. Great BOTD.

The contrast between selfish and selfless leadership is interesting to read. I also want to know what happens to Aiyasha and the orphan journey. Glad that it is easy to read!

Indeed, apart from consistency and determination, willingness is one of the key foundations to success. It is always saddening that one who is privileged would misuse their position to either abuse or step on the less fortunate. I am glad that the book teaches that something good can still come out of the less privileged. Many thanks, @Praise GodWord, for the amazing review.

One can find a teenage life based book ""Dumb" Orphans" by Allan Low, which follows Aiyasha, an orphan who was given the responsibility of taking care of seven other orphans. I want to read this book.

Aiyasha seems to be more responsible than the powerful leaders featured in the book. In this turbulent time in the world's story, books like this are needed to give our young people the right examples of leadership. A good leader serves and uses power to empower those who are weak.

I am not too happy with the title, though. The use of dumb, even in quotation marks, seems inappropriate.
