The Return

Summary: Tasteful romanticism embodied in a thriller of a novel!
Review: Bravo! Indeed I did find "The Return" not only refreshing and exciting, but so much more. The words exhilarating, exciting, riveting and heartstopping suspense immediately come to mind. "The Return" has all the components of a bestseller by any standard. I was especially impressed by the tasteful romanticism intertwined throughout the intriguing and riveting action. I was so engrossed in this book that I got behind in my housework! And that's rare for me. I really appreciated the positive image portrayed of Africa, the African-American as well as that of women. "The Return" also gives insight into the author's personality (Iron that does not fear fire). He is a man who obviously has deep respect for God, women, family and roots. I join my voice in demanding a sequel!

Summary: A novel that truly lives up to its 5 star rating!
Review: EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Once I began reading "The Return" I couldn't stop! My eyes were having difficulty keeping up with the "movie" version that was playing out in my mind's eye. Three times I cried. I'm not one to speculate the next turn of a story--good thing because everytime I thought I knew what to expect next, the story went in a different direction. The male characters displayed wisdom and compassion; the female characters were strong and admirable. Who says that only sex and violence sell books--WRONG! EXCELLENT read--when is the movie verison coming out and when is the sequel being printed?

Summary: Heartwarming,Suspense,Romance,
Review: I really enjoyed this book, it was a fast read and I couldn't put it down. The Return is a little history, family, suspense, romance, betrayal, power, royalty, Queens, Kings, and exciting. I enjoyed the telling of a story within a story. I visulized my grandfather telling this story giving me history of my roots. The richness of the characters were well developed. ITCOMS book club has selected The Return for the New Millennium. We look forward to David's next book. As a new author the book is well written. Thank you David. In the Spirit!

Summary: Superbly written, edge of your seat action adventure romance
Review: This book is superbly written. I have read it over and over again. It is so well done it is as if you are watching a movie. It is so vivid. Wow!The story is riveting, I couldn't put it down, I just had to find out what will happen next. Now, that is what good drama is about. I am waiting for it to be made into a movie. This definitely takes Ghanaian literature in particular and African literature in general to new heights. The positive view of Africa and African Americans so beautifully proffered here, is long overdue. More kudos to you David P. Oddoye. I can hardly wait for the sequel. I hope there is a sequel. Anyone out there reading this, join your voice with mine in demanding a sequel!
