Critique Review for My First Novel- Datuk: Memoir of the Fallen King

Credits to The BookLife Prize

To be honest, this is more than what I have expected.

For a novel I constructed out of the blue, driven by the urge of giving a tribute to my belated grandfather, I spent 3 weeks writing it, and 3 months printing it, all facilitated by my writer consultant Miss Izza.

But I was nervous, being the first publication, I’m worried that my work is not on par yet. “Am I good enough to continue down this path?” I even question myself.

So, just to answer myself, I have asked for reviews from my family and friends. They tell me it’s OK… but being a man of science, I need more evidence.

There, 5.25/10 from a trusted writing platform. I consider that as a pass.

Thank you BookLife prize, for your honest review, to let me know which part of my work is to be improved.

Looking forward to the next competition, I have many projects that need reviews in near future.
