King Abba: a review by Simon Robinson

Simon Robinson of www.transitionconsciousness.org has posted a generously favourable review of my philosophical fantasy King Abba which concludes:


"As well as a flowing plot that starts off as a gentle brook but gathers pace to rushing rapids, the chapters are littered with thought-provoking dialogue throughout. We are asked to consider what kind of reality we ourselves are living in ...

"The prose is poetic, never heavy, and the plot constructed to continually arouse one’s curiosity as to what will happen next in the adventure of the characters’ lives. It can certainly withstand very favourably next to Sophie’s World, while also being distinctly different in flavour, and I certainly hope it gains the recognition it strongly deserves."

See also the first (five-star) review on amazon.com which comments: "Well written and a great read, this kept me - and my 12 year old - hooked from beginning to end. It would be fabulous for a young adult or parent/teen book group choice."
