I am grateful for the wonderful response to my novel, An African Rebound. I recently received these two reviews:
Definitely a Five Star Rating!
My background includes writing entertainment
reviews. If a movie could be accurately
filmed of the wonderful human interest story in this book, with its actors
capable of touching the hearts of its audience – just as Dan Doyle captivated
his readers of this thought-provoking novel, it very well could be the next
“Best Picture Award Winner”

Mr. Doyle baits the
hook with basketball but quickly the reader is taken on a journey that examines
deep internal African cultural issues mixed with the challenges faced by
foreigners trying to understand and overcome social barriers that they can only
scratch the surface to understand. Doyle’s unique ability to capture these volatile
flashpoints along with creating an exciting story of discovery of a unique
basketball talent makes for a “cannot put down” novel.
As an individual who
has lived in Asia for 21 years and, at one point overseen Asian Basketball
Confederation (now FIBA-Asia) basketball development for 44 countries for seven
years (1996-2002) including worked with Yao Ming (at age 13) and his parents on
Yao’s skills & his parents struggle to understand the basketball &
commercial opportunities & challenges ahead and how they could overcome the
“China System” successfully, I immediately connected to Doyle’s multi-leveled
storyline.
This novel has all
the elements to translate into a stirring motion picture that would capture the
interests not only in the USA but throughout the world!
