The Gentle Revolutionaries By Don Lord

Posted on by devotdmomo3

 

_225_350_Book.1219.coverSYNOPSIS: The Gentle Revolutionaries is a novel based on the lives of two prominent American missionaries, Dan and Emelie Bradley, who became close friends with the famous monk, later King Mongkut. Their diaries and letters, as well as the Thai’s evaluation of them, destroys the false image of Thailand an English writer had created.

I gathered from the author’s introduction that this book came about in response to his familiarity with works by Margaret Landon & Anna Leonowens. Both ladies established well known works on Siam aka Thailand. However, as a college student, Don Lord discovered research refuting the portrayal of Siam’s monarchs. Theater-goers will recognize the mentions of ‘The King & I’. According to Lord’s research, the works by both ladies are flawed & commercialized.

In an effort to set the record straight, ‘The Gentle Revolutionaries’ was written. Mr. Lord has poured a great deal of time & effort into this work. Although readers will be aware that they are reading a novel, it does present itself as a non-fiction piece in style.

At times, it reads about like a history textbook. Truly the love & lives of the Bradley’s is a beautiful story. But, unless one is a diehard fan of historical non-fiction, they may have an issue reading the book as a novel. There are places where the dialogue & ‘facts’ are quite dry.

Those who loved ‘The King & I’ or variations of it will want to read ‘The Gentle Revolutionaries’ in order to get the bigger picture & a more factual view of the story as a whole. Other than those specific readers & perhaps the non-fiction crowd, it may not be your cup of tea.

Well-written, it’s gets a 4 star rating for its genre, it just wasn’t right for me.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

Double Blind By Tiffany Pitts

Posted on by devotdmomo3

double blind banner

front cover Double BlindBook Synopsis

Delilah Pelham’s brother, Paul, is missing. She should probably be worried about that but honestly, he’s been in trouble since the day he learned the words “trust me.” In fact, if it weren’t for his roommate, Carl, she would gladly leave him to his fate.

Carl is a good guy, even if he’s a bit of a dork. Okay, a large slice of a dork. Possibly the entire cake.

But he wants to help, as do his gamer friends, which is how Deli finds herself in the middle of Hong Kong with the King of the Dorks, running from creepy guys with slicked-back hair and shiny black guns.

Back at home, Carl’s friends aren’t faring nearly as well. All they had to do was monitor the situation and feed Deli’s cat while she was gone. How could that possibly end in bloodshed?

There is an answer, of course, but no one ever thinks to ask the cat.

Tiffany has a fabulous writing style. Her characters’ flaws are both believable & laugh-out-loud funny. By putting her characters into less than ideal scenarios, readers will find heroes that aren’t the norm.
Toesy, the cat, is one such hero. A cat may not always shine as a main character, but, this time, our feline friend is right there in the mix. Delilah and Carl, the two (human) main characters, are very enjoyable in the lead & readers will find a sibling dynamic that they can relate to.
‘Double Blind’ is a fun, quick read, perfect for taking to the beach this summer. Tiffany Pitts has a way with her characters & adding the cat in was a perfect idea. Her ‘Double Blind’ is sure to become a hit with readers of any genre. Well-done, it’s 5 stars from me.

Tiffany headshot jpgAuthor Bio

Tiffany grew up in the Seattle area in a time when the Super Sonics were huge and Starbucks was just a store at the end of the Market. Tragedy struck early in her life as her family moved to New Jersey mere months before Bon Jovi’s “Slippery When Wet” album hit record stores. It took nearly a decade to wean herself off the hairspray. But Seattle called her back, so she went; eventually earning a degree in Botany (pronounced “Bar tending”) at the University of Washington.
She made one more valiant attempt to leave the PNW after college by travelling around the country doing not much of value and making very stupid decisions. She is thankful every day that the internet was not a huge deal in those years. Then Seattle called again so she picked up and moved home where she spent many years being a scientist of middling talent in several labs that she absolutely did not blow up—except for that one time and everyone agreed not to talk about that any more.
Now she divides her time between writing fiction and raising two kids who are wonderful but, for some reason, won’t stop licking things.
