The author brings the story of Achilles to life with this passionate retelling of the legend. The characters are so real and their story so powerful, I was spellbound, especially by the ending. The narration is a chef’s kiss. The writing is poetic and moving. After I recover from this lingering tale, I just may have to give a listen to another one of this author’s titles.

Sheila Wise Rowe has written a beautiful, insightful book that helps people of color identify racial trauma through true and relatable stories of others. It also provides opportunities for reflection and application all grounded in scripture. Well-worth the read.

Inkheart is a treasure, a love letter to the story, the reader, and the writer. The performance is phenomenal. I admit that it was slightly slow starting, but I am glad I didn't give up.

I teach college English, and I recommend that educators consider using Thomas's salient novel in their classrooms. This is a well-crafted novel that engages readers in critical thinking about the world we live in today.

While the storyline is original and interesting, the ending seemed to drag a little. Overall it is a worthwhile and substantial drama.
