Review of No Dark Clouds
It is 48AD and a centurion from Praetoria Rome is returning to Israel, Jerusalem, his home as a youth. In his mind memories transpired seventeen years before, as a ten-year-old boy come to life and even specific words uttered run through him. Upon his return, he goes to Jesus’ tomb. All this is in the prologue of the book and from this point of view, he seems to be the protagonist in the book.
It is with the lives of several magnificently talented Jerusalem’s beggar children that R.W Nelson has proficiently knit along with Jesus' Life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection. Among those beggars is Aditya has an exquisite voice In singing despite her abnormally short structure. It is from Aditya’s poem that the title of this book is derived and this shows great relation of the occurrences in the book with the very beginning of the book. The fact that easy grammar has been used by the author makes the reader understand the already known concept even better with added scenes of action, and this builds even more interest in the reading process.
The most intriguing fact about the author is that he has made dialogues of real historical figures to add more taste to the story and in addition with great logic validity of the concepts unfolding to avoid disorganization.No Dark Clouds presents a diversity of characters from different origins, races, and even ethnicity, giving more taste and enjoyment. Misha, a twenty-year-old is one of the major casts in the story; an Ethiopian girl wearing a Sari that is of Indian origin. This character is a good example of how spectacular diverseness has been portrayed by the author. Beggar Boy’s role in this book has made me have so much amusement reading and honestly I did not want to put the book down to the very end. He has been my favorite character as he shows great agility, daring conscience, and portrays drama fit for competition at the Oscars.
Jesus healing the deformed infant and making her stretch hands and legs was the most heartwarming experience I had in the bookmaking me go emotional. However I felt sorry for Figs unlucky not getting to meet Jesus who possibly could have healed him, and he passes away mute and deaf. But Fig's story does not all end badly as he meets his earthly mother in heaven and is finally happy. The book has stories of individuals who may have started with struggle and pain but later come to be redeemed and it is a story of hope and restoration. I found the book flawless and it appears to be professionally edited.
No Dark Clouds deserves a rating of 4 out of 4 Stars and I recommend it to Christians, anyone looking for moral lessons, and children who may want to know more about Jesus'ministry.
