The Power of One - Likewise Book Reviews

"I would have to say that this is one of the best books I have ever read and it made me a big fan of Courtenay's.<br/>It's the story of Peekay, a young English boy, growing up in South Africa, during WWII. The reader is taken inside Peekay's world and how he deals with racism, growing up and fighting for his dreams. I laughed, cried and smiled through the whole book."

"One of my favorite books that I’ve ever read. I read it in a high school English class over 6 years ago and still would recommend it to anyone!"

"My uncle recommended it to me and told me it was moving and powerful. It was definitely those things but it was also really long and I just didn’t find it that interesting. It’s beautifully written and very poetic and it’s definitely a very good book, just not personally my cup of tea. "

"Not really a children’s book so don’t be put off by that. I read it in my 20’s. Excellent. "

"YES. It was so amazing. Really good."

"Amazing! A long read in my eyes but so much emotion."

"This book is as extraordinary in the beginning as it is powerful in the end. Courtenay wrote in a way that hooked me into continuing each sentence with hunger to read more. This book is very recommended if you want to discovery a great story during the times of WWII. "
