"From the train station. A proper scientific self awareness book. Did you know that having a green image near you makes you more creative. Touch someone on the upper arm and they will agree more"
"A station bookshop bestseller. Evocative novel in the form of a biography of an artist, similar to Barbara Hepworth, - Cornwall, many struggles in life. Moral - keep going life is good but not easy"
"Enlightening. He really is a global individual, who is emotionally as much Kenyan as American. He is right for the world, but not a tea party redneck American !"
"I did read some novels. French story of a teenager growing up. Be brave , have a go, it wont always work, but you will learn and maybe make things better for others and yourself"
