Reviews for ODYSSEY OF THE LION-HEART
This isn’t a genre I
usually read but I was intrigued so I signed up to review. I was captivated
from the first page and found myself reading incredibly fast in order to find
out what would happen next. I loved that the book was set in Africa in the
past. It is a world I know nothing about so it was exciting to learn something
new. I loved the steaminess and action in this book. You could feel the
author’s passion for Africa as you read the book. O’jay weaves a very
believable tale of old Africa but with a modern view on it. This was a
fantastic book with a very well developed plot and cast of characters. It was
an honour to be able to read such an incredible book. 5 stars – KIRSTY TURNER, Sarah & Kirsty Book
Reviews, London, UK.
This is a thoroughly absorbing and curiously nostalgic tale
about an Africa that is long gone. It is full of captivating conflicts, the
material is very rich, and the potential for drama is enormous. O’jay has an
excellent eye for describing his story’s setting, easily putting the reader in
a time and place – a big strength, since the subject matter is rarely written
about. – DAVID O’CONNOR, Writer’s Consultants,
London, UK.
ODYSSEY OF THE LION-HEART is an intriguing and evocative
historical tale of loyalty, courage, passion, and betrayal; and its writer’s
incredibly vivid imagination is better appreciated when viewed against the
backdrop of the era he wrote about. This sumptuous feast of storytelling even
outdid Harold Robins and Jackie Collins in raunchy fireworks, and will surely
live in the mind for a long, long time. – CAROLYN
FRENCH, Fifi Oscard Agency, London, UK.
An
absorbing, provocative, and multi-layered story, packed with enough heated
passion to set a house on fire. It is built on rare convictions, stacked with
acts of near-unbelievable courage, and told in a moving and very lively manner
– a story you will never forget. – DANIEL
LAZAR, Writer’s House, New York, USA.
ODYSSEY OF THE LION-HEART is a beautifully crafted tale with
a gripping plot and very lucid prose. It is built around the passionate
convictions of a fearless visionary who lived well ahead of his time; and
filled with the astounding gallantry of this golden-hearted man, the sort of
which rarely grace this cynical world of ours. I’ve never seen Africa the way I
did through this work, and I highly recommend it to any adult reader, despite
its more steamy parts. It is a very memorable book. – KATHRYNE SWAYZE, Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency INC., New York, USA.
This is an enthralling story about Africa, written with pride
and admirable candour. It is a stirring tale of adventure, culture clashes,
huge courage, strong convictions, and love. O’jay is truly a gifted
storyteller; and will surely go places with this work. A must read. – FRANCES BOND, Literary Agent, Durban, South
Africa.
ODYSSEY OF THE LION-HEART is a fascinating story of
adventure, passion, bravery, friendship, and treachery, all in the background
of an Africa still in touch with itself. It is a compelling read. – CHIKA NWANKWO, Professor of English
Literature, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus.
Absolutely captivating, unforgettable, riveting are words
that aptly describe ODYSSEY OF THE LION-HEART. Sizzling hot and raunchy are
other words, too. This is one of my best stories ever, and I’ve read plenty. I
had to fight with two of my friends over this book and I have no regrets about
the fights! See for yourself, it is a truly compelling piece of storytelling. –
OSITA OKOLI, Multiple Awards Winning
Movie Director.
A great epic story whose bold scenes of unbridled passion
were only outdone by the incredible courage, and deep-felt, revolutionary
beliefs of its larger-than-life lead character. It is a moving and seemingly
embellished, but very believable tale of an Africa very few could imagine
today, given breathing life by this writer’s unique and utterly inimitable
flair. I can’t wait for O’jay’s next literary feast. – SEBASTIEN RITSCHER, Mohr Books, Zurich, Switzerland.
ODYSSEY OF THE LION-HEART is a gripping story of an
inevitable collision of cultures, of uncommon, prodigious gallantry, tragically
blighted by inimitable hubris, and told with animated, unbridled lucidity. – RICHARD ASIEGBU, Ace Sports Commentator and
Multiple Awards Winning Journalist.
Wow, what can I say? I found the quality of this work
overwhelming. It is probably the best book ever written about the real Africa.
Without doubt, it is one of the very best stories I’ve read, and definitely the
most evocative, the most powerful. I just couldn’t put it down, and my husband
too. – OLAMIDE JOLU-ADESORO,
International Institute of Journalism, Abuja, Nigeria.
Hot raunchy stuff, adventure, great daring, fearless courage,
heartbreaking betrayal, tender romance, intrigue, touching loyalty, and
friendship… that’s ODYSSEY OF THE LION-HEART, one of the most stirring books
I’ve ever read. And it’s mainly about this unknown and alluringly mysterious
Africa! I assure you, you won’t be able to put down this book once you get
started. I loved it! – MELISSA FLASHMAN,
Trident Media Group, New York, USA.
I really wasn't sure if I was going to like this book or not. The
cover had me thinking I was stepping way out of my normal but once I got start,
holy crap did I fall in love with this book! The authors talent is very well
displayed behind the cover. The characters are very likable! The plot of this
book is amazing and will have you turning pages just to try and figure it all
out! This author was new to me and I am very pleased that I had the honor to
read for him. Of course I don't cheat the authors and do spoilers, but I
promise that if you pick yourself up a copy of this book you will be amazed! – PEGGY
SALKILL, Undercover Book Reviews, Houston, USA.
