TamiOkoroDedeh: I've read I now. Started last night, finished in tje early hours of this morning. That's how "unputdownable" the story is. See, a lot of our people have this bandwagon mentality. Once the first commenter gives a comment, the rest will blindly follow. It's advisable not to take their harsh criticism to heart even though it sometimes helps in improving your abilities. Back to the story, there's nothing boring about it. I enjoyed every bit of it (apart from the scene in Emeka's place for obvious reasons). The storyline is very relatable too. Doris' is a typical antisocial undergraduate- a sort of nerd albeit a pretty one. There's nothing unrealistic about her character, we see people like that in school all the time. Jide hating her because she didn't pronounce his name properly seems a bit farfetched. However, his backstory about growing up dirt poor and being badly treated by upper class people triggered his disdain for privileged people like Doris and a flimsy incidence like mispronouncing his name is enough to trigger the hate. I'll compete the review when I'm chanced, I have some stuff to tidy up here 1 Like |

I'M NOT MUTE, BUT I'M UNABLE TO SPEAK: Book Description: The truth is, there is a few number of mute people around the world, but a large number of people who cannot speak. The world today is filled with people, here and there. People doing all sorts of things just to survive and etcetera. There's something many people do not know or have decided to ignore, but which is very important as far as humans are concerned. This book "I'm not mute, but I'm unable to Speak", was written in order to point out those things and the way to correct them. It's mainly for the few who are willing to adhere to the principles laid therein. Here's the link: https://okadabooks.com/book/about/i_m_not_mute_but_i_m_unable_to_speak/26806

dominique: Thanks a million again. I attended boarding school in Aba, but my family lived in Uyo. Girls were extremely jealous because I was born in the UK, spoke better English than they did, and had a father who held a top post with NEPA. They thought I came from wealthy stock, but in reality my folks always taught us humility. These experiences loosely inspired Doris' row with Jide. And I knew people like Mex Orlando - fake people who bring you down, but subsequent parts would have revealed an even bigger secret he was hiding. I'm sorry you found the scene at Mex Orlando's uncomfortable, but that was the whole point. Coronation Street once did a male rape storyline without showing exactly what happened, but the viewer still felt the victim's anguish, exactly what I was going for when I wrote that chapter. The blogger who reviewed my work criticised me for making it sound like a conquest...are you kidding me? That chapter was told from Jide's prespective, and rapists always feel like they've conquered whenever they pounce on a helpless victim. And Jide didn't just hate Doris because she couldn't say his name properly, he just hated her. Thanks for the review, really appreciate it. 3 Likes |

TamiOkoroDedeh: Anybody that attended attended a public higher will come accross different students from different backgrounds and wouldn't find the Doris character out of sorts. I had a former roommate back in uni who was born and raised in Warri but can't speak pidgin English. From her carriage and demeanour, one can tell she wasn't raised in an average Nigerian home yet some people disliked her. I see a lot of Doris in her, probably why found the character totally believable. I don't see myself a critic, just a lover of well written fiction. What I look for is an enjoyable and relatable story which I got from your story. I've read a lot of bad fiction both on here and okadabooks and yours doesn't even come close. I suggest you post the story here on the thread you created for it and see how it will be received. You can also send the story to the ladies at literaryeverything.com for a more balanced review. I'm very much interested in how the story ends. How do I get the continuation without going to Amazon? 1 Like |

Lleigh: I read a book on okadabooks by Unen Ameji a while back and part of the plot was a gay man who proposed to a woman to pose as his wife as a form of cover up. I read a similar plot by TM David West, both were well received and are on okadabooks. The Auction will come with a disclaimer o. Some people may find some of the scenes extremely disturbing. I don't think there is anything like R25 though, a disclaimer should do. Can't wait to see what becomes of Linda. 1 Like 1 Share |

TamiOkoroDedeh: Their opinion, the book was far from boring to me. I also wonder how you intend to turn Jide's character around in the sequel, absolutely nothing endearing about him that you would want an happy ending for. I maintain there's nothing wrong with Doris' character, neither is the plot flawed. Though, I must say there was a part of the story that threw me off balance. The part where Doris had a flashback about her Grandma. I got a bit confused as I did not realize that present melded into the past and I had to scroll back several pages to read again before I could understand that particular scene. Other than that, I had issue with the story. The review may be discourag but that doesn't mean you should pull the curtain on the story entirely. Post it here or on your blog to get diverse opinions. 1 Like |
