Another Perspective on “Beyond the Red Door”

The other day, I was trying to upload my book on to Amazon.com so that people can buy it from Amazon’s site. This was my second attempt – somehow my first one disappeared into cyber space some moons ago. One of the features they offered was to include a review.

In all the reviews I’ve read, the focus is on how I survived retinoblastoma, my struggles as someone with a vision impairment, and the search for my identity. Pretty standard, really, as these were the major themes in my book.

But not the only elements of note.

Simone, of Outfit Inspirations, just finished reading “Beyond the Red Door”, and wrote her own review of it in A Life Worth Writing Reading Sharing and Celebrating

Simone was entranced by the memories I shared of my life, finding so many similarities and images that took her back to her past. It made me realise that there is more to my book than just the images and themes the media target.

Simone and I met at blog school, a forum where a few of us bloggers meet every fortnight to support and teach each other about the mysteries and opportunities of the blogosphere. She is an amazingly talented person, and her site is prolific with its entertaining blogs that are pearls of wisdom.

Thanks Simone for such a refreshing review.
