Review by nimitn -- Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King" by David W. Sutherland and Paul McKellips.]
Do not be mistaken by the title of the book, Bedu: Bedouin Boy, Poet King by David W. Sutherland and Paul McKellips, because although it seems like a simple fiction book, it can very well be placed in the category of self-help books. It is a story of a young shepherd boy who learns more about life through the challenges faced by him and his family, and how he manages to apply the newfound knowledge to explore new possibilities.
One of the best things about this book is the storytelling, it is simple to read and easy to understand. Bedu’s journey is mixed with several emotions which make him a relatable character instantly. The experiences this shepherd boy has in life are profound, humorous, and intriguing enough to have your attention, and complete the whole book in one reading session. It is a well-crafted story that serves as a motivation and an example to explore the qualities that one must possess in order to lead a fulfilled and successful life.
The feelings of insecurity that any individual may have in life especially when facing an opportunity or beginning a new journey, are painted in a poetic manner by the authors. The little boy Noam was easily one of my favorite characters in the book. He has a good sense of humor just like his grandfather, and also seems quite wise for a boy his age. The relationship between Bedu and Noam is heartwarming and a fun-filled one.
Through this story, we get a sense of an era almost 2000 years ago where life wasn’t as convenient as it is today, where we have all this technology at hand to use. The obstacles people of that era faced in comparison to today’s modern world is also beautifully described in a subtle manner. It serves as a reminder to how we must not complain about things we don’t have but appreciate what we do have and make good use of it.
I really enjoyed reading this short book and have nothing bad to say about it. I appreciate and applaud the efforts by the authors to tell a story with an important message and yet keep it interesting enough to read.
Although I did find a couple of typos and spelling errors, I would still rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because none of the errors interrupted the flow of the story. The choice of words by the authors is clean, and that makes it suitable to read for the general public especially those individuals who are seeking motivation to succeed and achieve their goals in life.
