Review of No Dark Clouds
[Following is a volunteer review of "No Dark Clouds" by R W Nelson.]
No Dark Clouds title was lifted from Aditya's signature poem. It represents hope for a troubled child who wishes to find solace in Jesus. The novel begins with a prologue about a centurion returning to his homeland where he has so many memories as a child. I presume he is the main character or hero of the novel since the author explores the omniscient point of view to deliver this scintillating piece of literature.
Apostle Luke admitted in the bible about so many things Jesus did that were not written down. R.W. Nelson takes us through a fictional journey of what might or had been in the ministry of Jesus.
The book is made as easy as possible for any reader to grasp, as it does not contain so many activities or settings of old that cannot be related with by many readers. Or perhaps many have watched historical movies of Isreal that makes the setting come to life while reading it. Filled with bits of action that render this work, not just about the conversations but different drama within the timeframe of its setting. Like Jesus overturning the table of traders in the temple, the plot and capture of Barabbas, and so many activities of the beggar children that makes this novel enjoyable for most age grades.
Beggar Boy and Aditya are characters that made this work sensational. Both characters were well developed. Their adventures were amusing, an example of such was when they attempted to steal milk for figs, the author describes Aditya as "run-waddling" straight under a camel because of her height, really funny stuff!
The only part I found somewhat questionable was the author describing how a child was received in heaven, how the child left its body with guardian angels surrounding, waving goodbye to those sleeping, walls parting, beautiful fields and all that. The above made that part of the novel seem like a children novel or a comic, well some might find it emotional but I didn't.
So good was the novel that I felt I was watching the movie adaptation of the book as I was reading. Speaking of historical fiction and other great works, No Dark Clouds deserves to be amongst the best. Written in clear English that is easy to understand, the author avoids unnecessary grammar that is difficult to understand.
No Dark Clouds has earned a rating of 4 out of 4 stars from me for this work. The editing was very good, conversations were well rounded, the characters were fun, The novel itself was sentient. The author took me to scenes of what might have transpired during Jesus's ministry without contracting what did happen. For actual events during this time frame, the author highlights them as SG1, SG8 and so on. These events include the beatitudes and others.
Christian children need to try this book out. As much as everyone who wishes to know more about the ministry of Jesus.
