Nelson's Dream

Neslon's Dream

 Review by Christy Ou
 
     Do you have a dream? I think everybody has own dream in your life, no matter how big or small. Nelson has his own dream and he is a very nice man. This story is about Nelson how to help people who is suffering HIV and how to come true his dream.
     Nelson's Dream is written by J.M Newsome. The story happened in Kurupenda, the capital of Gomokule, a country in Southern Africa. Main character is called Nelson Mbizi, who returns to his home after three years in the UK studying hotel. His parents is hotel owner and he hear about a family is getting trouble when the Mbizi familys's housekeeper asks his mother for financial help for some children. So he went to Sector D where have some familys are suffered from HIV/AIDS. When he tried to help a family orphans he meets viki, a South African TV presenter. At the same time, he parents leave when his father is auccsed of stealing  government money.
   What's more, Nelson try his best to find different ways to help their family and he has been working with the Sector D community. In addition, they have restored an old bus garage to turn it into a centre and try to treat for HIV/AIDS. Then Daniel earns a little money singing, Eddy gets a job at a garage and Nelson gets Lily Anne and their baby brother Blessing into a hospice, where Blessing soon dies of the AIDS his mother passed on to him. Finally, Nelson and Viki are fall in love together.
       
    
      I think this is a very good and interesting book. I gave 4 stars to this book. Because it is touching me because even though Nelson is live in rich family and his parents disagree with him, he still goes to help poor familys. Also it is a really real book and happened around the world. It show us like nowsday society, lots of health problems such as  HIV/ AIDS arround our life. I think the story of Nelson and Viki's relationship is told against a background of HIV/AIDS and government corruption.
