Story Behind The Book

Reviews

SHAOLINA I came across this book by chance while in pursuit for a motivating and thought-provoking novel. And what a surprise! This book was unlike any other book that I have read, and has taken a life of its own. Shaolina combines an atmosphere of spirituality with China's Shaolin Temple (the home of Zen Buddhism and Kung Fu) and the glitz and glam of Hollywood celebrities following the adventures of the protagonist &quot;Li&quot;. Everyone can relate to the book in some way. The book gets more engaging with time and the plot twists keep you on the edge of your seat. I appreciated how the author is actually knowledgeable about martial arts (she had experience training at the Temple!) and the interesting insights about the monastery. The writing style itself at times reads like a piece of art. I found myself pausing to reflect several times on certain sentences. Here's some: &quot; Our breaking point is our making point&quot; and &quot;Sometimes we sleepwalk through life, and only when we are about to die do we truly awaken.&quot; A very inspiring and positive novel. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an original, uplifting and action-packed book.
