REVIEW OF 'A LIFE CALLED FOREVER' By Affiong Ene-Obong

The book titled 'A Life Called Forever' is a two part book written by Affiong Ene-Obong. The first part of this work is a collection of twenty nine poems and the second part holds five motivational stories.

The poems touch on day to day themes of life, from love, to pain, to law, ignorance, dreams, success to mention a few.

Affiong employs rich diction in her poetry as the language is simple with a rhythmic tone to every line.
It would not be wrong to define, Affiong's style of poetry as inspirational poetry, one that spurs it's reader to reflect, think and act for a good cause.

The motivational stories in this book employ imagery and symbolism to give the reader a better imaginative relatability to each tale.
'Be The Star For Your Show' a short story in this book, personifies Talents as a living creature in this sentence;

'Talents are like butterflies; they can't see how beautiful they are but everyone else can.' 

This is accompanied by a beautiful story you should read when you get this book.

'A Life Called Forever' is surely a poetry and motivational collection to have in your book shelf.
