Book Reviews of The Power of One: A Novel
Book Review: Can you put this book down?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a book which I found difficult to put down once I started reading it. The language is very vivid and the descriptions of locations and characters allows your mind to visualise it very clearly. This book is one which I was able to relate to a visit to South Africa six years earlier, and felt that some things have not changed (the year was 1991) and so could see the attitudes of people which were in the book still in life today. I first came across the Courtenay's work on tv, yet when I read the book it held my attention better than the film did. I felt I was there with PK and could smell the flowers in the air. The only warning I would to say those who are thinking about buying this book, is do'not do it if you do not have the time to read it, as you will not want to put it down until you have finished.
