An Amazing Five Star Review for My Life as a Banker

This Amazing Five Star Review was received on Amazon UK today.

Brenda Mohammed’s memoir: a review by Serban Enache
5.0 out of 5 stars
By Amazon Customer on 2 Sept. 2016
Format: Paperback
"This memoir’s style of writing gives the impression that the author is candidly speaking to the reader about her past – her struggles and achievements, the good and the bad. The author’s life was anything but boring, and I reckon her retirement will be just as interesting. Throughout her journeys and challenges, religion was very important to her. Even though I’m an atheist, I very much respect her point of view and beliefs. Her life’s tale is an inspiring read, to men and women alike. And the book ends on a beautiful note of optimism.

This book is available in Kindle and Paperback on Amazon
It can also be found on Smashwords, Nook, Kobo, itunes, Scribd, and 24 Symbols.

Latest Five Star Review by John Hennessy

Inspiring and eminently interesting story, June 26, 2016

This review is from: My Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living (Paperback)
For those of us who are not in the banking industry, and for me, especially living in a country where the capital is the financial hub of the country (perhaps the world) you might think a story called My Life As A Banker would be too dry to enjoy.

Author Brenda Mohammed has written quite a few books across different genres. This book is a relatively quick read but readers can be taken along her life's journey as they turn the pages.

I found myself more interested in the 'Life Worth Living' elements of the book. I congratulate her hard work which allowed her to work in the banking industry and get promoted. But I was more interested in the personal side of things, for example how she met her husband (that's an excellent segment of the book) and also attaining her strict father's support for the marriage.

The author's approach to writing this memoir is direct and therefore one imagines this is how she would speak in real life. But the tale is told with such verve and energy, it is an enjoyable book that people will find much to like.

The real life stories contained within are things we can all relate to. Things such as ending up in a great city like Toronto, but being sick at the time and told 'you shouldn't go out then'. But this is not the author's approach to life. If you have read her Travel Memoir With Pictures, you will understand what an accomplished traveller this lady is.

There's some surprisingly gory scenes in the book, tempered by some poignant sadness around certain family members, as well as the central theme of how the author made her living in the banking sector.

It's an interesting and very readable memoir from one of the more creative authors out there.

The book is available in both Kindle and Paperback at Amazon
