I’m not a big fan of coming of age stories, but it sounds like this book is really character driven, which does interest me. I also The the relationship between the siblings would be interesting to explore. great book for lazy afternoon reading to escape the rat race.

Thanks for the informative review. This genre is not my usual cup of tea, but sounds like it is written in taste. I am interested in the social aspects of peoples lives, therefore, seeing characters grow and develop is appealing. I like the idea of dream analysis as well.

We could well relate to the story herein told. Undoubtedly, we have passed that phase in our lives where we, too, have to adjust to people and circumstances around us. Especially so when we are of the sort that has become just members of an extended family. It is still the best when belonging to an immediate and legitimate family. Thank you for this wonderful review.

I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but the cover design is putting me off for some reason. That, along with the book description, gives me no reason to pick it up under normal circumstances. Your review has definitely changed my initial impression, but it also makes me more certain that this isn't for me. Good job on endorsing this book though. I feel that it's a good story that could benefit from a positive review such as this.

Thanks for the review! I wish you had included an example or two so that I could get a better feel for the book. It does sound like it might be a great coming of age story.

I like the themes of self-growth, family and friendship. The story is heartfelt considering what the orphans have to undergo growing up.

Thanks for the review! :techie-reference: I do enjoy a well written story focused on a characters growth and changes throughout their life. The characters in "The Dream Keepers" sound relatable enough and the story sounds like it will be a fun read. I am always looking for new books to read with my children and this may be one added to that list. I look forward to reading it.

Excellent review. Although the storyline sounds unique, I don't think this is a book for me.
