Official Review: Kamel by Charles J Haubner III

[melni]

Well, this sounds like a really intense book! It's one thing to want to leave home and pursue a better and different life; but it's entirely a cruel turn of events to witness your families' demise and have your home and security torn from you! Thank you for sharing your review with us and even though historical fiction is not my favorite genre, I have added this to my want to read list! War in itself is a tear maker, so I'll have my tissues ready with this book!

I usually try to steer clear of books that make me cry. However, your review surely motivates me to give this a try. I like the fact that the protagonist narrates the story and I can literally experience him go through a metamorphosis.

Kamel, from the review sounds like an interesting story.

I think this will be a good book to enlightened people about the Germans during World War. It is not the entire nation that wanted to get involved in war. Many commoner German nationals are innocent and trying to survive and live in peace as well. We seem to perceived that Germans are like their leaders which is not. More books like this should be published. Thanks for your great review!!

This book is so interesting, it says alot about the life of a young french boy growing up and the challenges he faced into becoming a man of his dreams.

Intriguing review! I would want to know more about this book because this review was insightful, its an heartwarming story that left me wandering what happened to kamel afterward.

This seems like a very interesting book indeed. Thank you for your well informed review. Most people would never notice grammaticals errors in other languages.

I love studying the history of a particular country and how wars and battles affected the lives of people, similarly to what's narrated in this book based on the review about a boy who wanted to experience all the positivity in life but ended up running for his life because of the world war.

Indeed, the consequences of war are brutal and break people, tears families apart but people have strong hearts and will always rise up to the occasion. Reading this book will be informative and educational.

Kamel's story is Just one in a million,
You can imaging a young boy growing with full of ambition for the betterment of his future to show that he is a man who made it in life by himself not by what his parents had worked for and willed it to him and again, oh love, we all know what love is to a teenager, heart vibrating affair, just when he felt love, that tragedy of world war 1 came and shattered all his feelings about love, Also the thought he had of leaving his parents to go and settle elsewhere was realized but unfortunately for him in a disastrous manner, slaughtering of his father, I believe he thought after words that thing should be like at first back at home but too late. Not withstanding I also believed that all he must have gone through during the war contributed to his manhood today, oh what a furnace fire method of becoming a real man? I will like to read this tradegy friction story till the end to feel his agony through to his freeman life presently. Great one there.

as they say if it is not the strongest who survive, then it will be the smartest. Indeed, this historical story told during the time of world war 1 indicates that sometimes we have to become what we never thought we would ever become in order to survive, especially when faced with adversity.

im very related on the story. i remember my childhood days. i want to grow old and i want to have a freedom.
and then im here now realizing that being a child is much better..

To capture the horrors of war from a child's perspective is quite a feat. The review suggests the writer goes far in doing this. That it is historical fiction should not take away from the central problem of a child cast into one of the most frightening experiences imaginable. I like the image of the molding bread as it makes a good analogy of passing from innocence to experience.
