GOOD REVIEWS discussion

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my request. I'd be delighted if you would give an honest review of my book.

'The class ended, and we exited into the hallway. Claire came up beside me. I could sense her just over my shoulder, and I could smell her girlie, soapy scent. My legs felt weak, and I could feel a sort of cramp in my stomach. Halfway down the corridor she got a little ahead of me and turned.
'Thank you for the card,' she said.
All I could see were her lips making the words, and I smiled nervously.
'It's ok.'
'You spelled Christmas wrong!' she said.
Instantly the blood drained from my face, arms and legs, and the cramp in my stomach twisted, like I was dying inside. Crippled with total embarrassment, my shoe caught on a drain cover and I stumbled to the ground, scuffing my knees and grazing my palms. I regained my feet and as I looked up, she was gone.
Who knew Christmas had an H in it? Or a T for that matter!'


Shame and inadequacy were an intrinsic part of growing up in the 1970s with dyslexia. Self-doubt and high anxiety cast long shadows over a boy with a bright, inquisitive but misunderstood mind. Downtrodden by the hobnail boot of working-class life, he finds solace within nature and discovers the ability to communicate with trees.

This inspirational true story follows his turbulent life of illiteracy, social exclusion and workplace bullying. A disfiguring nightclub attack, motorcycle accident and skin cancer only compound the problems brought about by his inherent learning difficulties and resultant lack of confidence.

Powered by an irrepressible need to express his own individuality, his artistic frustration eventually breaks loose of its literary shackles, and he enters into a passionate love affair with words. He eventually finds strength and courage and, to his complete surprise, cannot contain the overwhelming urge to write a novel.

The words which once imprisoned him become his greatest gift, and his frustrated creativity is finally set free. With joy and optimism, his new vocation as a writer is to encourage and inspire all those who might feel trapped and worthless as a result of being different.

Dear readers, let me introduce my new book: An inspiring story about survival, choice, and the power of family relationships.
This book tells the story of the end of the familiar society due to the medieval epidemic’s spread. This is a new world, devoid of laws and regulations, where people need to desperately fight for their lives. The main character is a teenager who must cope not only with the general panic but also with his mental problems. Together with his family and friends, he sets out on a journey to the distant edge of civilization, hoping to wait out the fall of humanity. But the real enemy is not an epidemic, but a man. On every step, the survivors will be pursued by marauders, ambushes, deception, and betrayal, and each time they will have to make difficult choices. This adventure is full of unpredictability, where is no right or wrong decision. In this intriguing story, everyone has only one primary goal—to survive.
