Customer Reviews

Highly recommended!!!

Totally enjoyable, and worth losing sleep over to continue reading. Every emotion known is felt while reading this book, from wonder at the sights, sounds and smells of the country, to the emotions toward the children and all the characters, who are so well-developed you feel you know them personally. The book leaves you wondering what you would do in situations, and long after you close the book, you think about the characters and worry about their welfare as if they were yours to care about! In some instances, you almost want to be there to manage the situation, because you know you may do things differently. This is a wonderful escape to a land and situations most of us would never have the good fortune to have. Nick writes what he knows, and his knowledge is vast, teaching us in subtle ways, about a people as only he knows. On to book 2.

Great Book

I just finished this book and I thought that it was really good. I got to meet the author at a book signing in my home town and after reading it I was very proud to have gotten to meet such a talented person. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.

Breathtaking

The Pomelo Tree opens with a realistic scene involving ill behaved children on a long flight and immediately captures the reader's interest. My experience working with children in the public school arena did not quite prepare me for how precocious the young Nigel is. The novel grips the reader in its clutches with the exotic location, the gripping characters, and our hero's voice narrating the story. I was sorry to read the last page and literally hungered for the next book. As a writer myself, I highly recommend this fascinating book. Heather B.

Riveting to the end.

In The Pomelo Tree, Dominic Cibrario has provided a unique introductory look at a world which is better than imagination! A world where power and principalities exist, whether we believe in them or not. I couldn't put it down, and I'm hungry to read what's next!

A haunting and excellent start to a trilogy

Cibrario has crafted a haunting, detailed first novel that truly captures the atmosphere of its setting. Cibrario is skilled with descriptions and figurative language. The suspense in the plot will keep you reading, from start to finish.
