This is a discussion topic for the November 2024 Book of the Month, ""Dumb" Orphans: The Bundu Bunch Trilogy" by Allan Low

Do you think adults, too, would enjoy reading "Dumb" Orphans: The Bundu Bunch Trilogy by Allan Low?

As an adult, I absolutely enjoyed reading this book!

Absolutely! Adults should read children's books, not only with their children but to also enjoy something different. There is no rule that says that adults can only read complex books.

Yes, adults should read this book. The word 'orphans' - already hints at adults while obviously hinting at children. Global issues are also discussed in the book like lack of access to education, poverty and inequality. So I believe adults should read it too.

I believe that everyone can enjoy a child's book, no matter their age. There have been many times when I have gone back to children's books and found endless substance within. Additionally the title about orphans implies that this story might cover many heavier topics that adults could benefit learning from.

I'm sure that every adult would enjoy it

Adults often read books written from an adult perspective. "Dumb Orphans" offers a unique viewpoint, allowing adults to see the world through the eyes of children facing extraordinary challenges.

Yes, as an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and every character played a crucial role. The Bundu bunch's resilience despite their circumstances was truly inspirational.

Yes, I absolutely loved reading the book. It had been lying on my reading list since the BOTM on OBC. I finally picked it up last evening. I found it difficult to break the read for sleep last night. I picked it up and was done by early afternoon. The engaging writing and every story was beautifully put together urging government, privileged to rethink all aspects. This book presents itself as an enlightening case study. Lots to pick and implement.

Yes, I think most adults would enjoy reading this book. I sure did. It teaches a lot about working together to overcome obstacles at any age.

This children's book, like many others, offers more than just entertainment - it provides valuable life lessons that transcend age, so adults can benefit from these lessons just as much as children.

As an adult, I enjoyed reading this book. I think adults would enjoy it much more than children because we can understand it better. I gave my kids an overview of the book, but I can't imagine any of them reading it themselves. They were sad about what I told them, and I think it's good for kids to see that not everyone is as privileged as they are. We aren't wealthy, but they should know that many kids have it much worse than they do because at least they have food and real beds. I do think for my kids to enjoy the book it would need to be a little shorter and the last book would need to be shortened quite a lot since it's written from an adult point of view and talks so much about jobs and things most children wouldn't understand or want to read about. I don't think the last book would hold most kids' attention very well.

As an adult, I'm more inclined to read this book. Because I think it has the potential to teach me a lot. Based on the reviews I've read, most of the reviewers liked the book, and I'm definitely sure that they are over 18 because that just about the age to be eligible to join the review team.

This book is for everyone, including adults. There shouldn't be any judgment of adults who read children's books; it is good to try different genres and writing styles.

I am 37, and currently reading this book. it's great and I am enjoying. Dive in !!!! it was only .99 for my kindle. so cheap too. can't beat that [unless its free lol] ... let us know what you think once you start or finish.
