BOOK REVIEW: The Adventures of Nihu by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

  I believe it was Stephen King who said something about writers holding the power of creating worlds in their hands.  The Adventures of Nihu  provides quintessential proof of that statement. Not only has the author managed to tell a story that covers all the facets of human endeavor, he has very much birthed his own world. A world full of wonder, beauty and darkness, all blended together so effortlessly. The author explores the human situation, exposing the very nature and disposition of man in relation to his predicament. The author explores man’s capacity for greed, love, temerity and cunning, while taking the reader on a  literally  multidimensional chase. It is a story of bravery, a story of friendship and loyalty against staggering odds. The author has put his own spin on the eternal battle between good and evil, using a very lovable protagonist as Nihu is wrongly accused and faces a world of treachery and evil. It is vital for a story to be able t...

Book Review: Beyond the Father “gods on Trial” by Opëshum Patroz

  I voluntarily reviewed this book and I enjoyed every bit of it. I could feel the author’s imagination at work. The transition from one episode to another was top level. This is a great movie in our hands. From Commander Dugar who wanted to win back the trust of the people to King Thio, Liara and Anglid , “gods on Trial” is a reflection of a society where everyone has their own agenda. It’s tough to predict whether they will succeed. However, from the blurb, “When you think you know the direction of the story, the author has yet another surprise.” Intrigue and power play are friends of a warlord. Some people are wicked but they forget that the world is a small place. As they try to own everything, they are controlled by another force. Opëshum means business. If we effectively use our imagination, our possibilities will be limitless. The author has been writing since she was a child. She believes that authors are selected by their characters to bring their stories to the...

Book Review: My Walk on the Aikido Path: A Healing Journey of Self Discovery by Rachel Kling

  Developing an identity is what defines who we are. “My Walk on the Aikido Path” by Rachel Kling is an enthralling journey of healing, self-discovery and complete understanding of herself. To bridge the gap between finding complete happiness and reaching the top, this book is the vehicle for aspiration, connection and compassion. The author made valid points about healing. Aikido as an art is authentic. Like most genuine practices, it brings satisfaction and cast out doubt. It teaches us that the quality of our lives is bound up with the quality of our relationships and that we exist in relation to others. I find this book interesting because it gives me an insight into how I should react to situations because our choices impart the entire human community. “Rather than fight, or try to harm the aggressor, nage creates an opportunity to choose connection over contention.” Aikido is all about relationships, connections, compassion, protection, peace, harmony and love. When w...

REVIEW ALERT: Literary Tic Tok of Animals.

I never thought of at this age reading a book where the animal, in this case cats, takes on real human feelings and emotions. In a way it is kind of funny. One point in reading this book, I could see the animals talking, drinking, and taking on real human attributes. This book is an anthology. The stories within these pages are well rounded. You can have a solid beginning, middle, and end in each one. Every story has some type of meaning or thought that the author is trying to get across. The story of Forgiveness took the spotlight for me. In this very short but to the point story gives a great example on how forgiveness should be granted and how all in the situation can walk away stronger and better than they came in. I am a big fan of short stories. These short stories are good quality stories with an antidote. This is the first time that I have ever encountered this. The illustrations in the book are very good also. There is a great companionship shown between the stories and i...
