BOOK REVIEW: Reader Views Kids Review of The Adventures of Nihu by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

  This long book takes place in a jungle and is about a boy named Nihu that lived in a small village.  One day Nihu is out hunting, and his uncle was killed by an arrow that a robber took after Nihu shot it.  Everybody thought Nihu killed his uncle, so he was told not to come back to the village.  He went to the jungle to live, and met Old Phil.  They got to be friends, but Old Phil died.  Nihu met many creatures when he was in the jungle.  Some were friendly, but some were mean and scary.  He finally tries to find his way out of the jungle and falls through a crack in the earth.  A very mean creature takes him and puts him inside a stone, with some other prisoners.  We don’t find out until the very end if he ever escapes. This was a long book, and it was hard for me to read by myself.  There were a lot of big words, and some parts were hard for me to understand.  It was exciting, and sometimes scary.  The different cr...

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...
