I think children of Falela are very deep novels. Because Dalene Matthee is trying to show the reader how strong a child can be, even at very young age. I think this kid is the hero who can manage things that can not be managed even by an adult. I also like the way Dalene Matthee brings the image to the story very much. People can draw forests with such definite details, sometimes I feel like I am Benjamin, as I am with Benjamin. While reading, I can also feel directly, for explanatory words and for African native words for nature, I am a hot dusty Kloof or damp forest It seems to be in. I think this book is a very good book. I like it very much and I feel a part of it.
