Per Holbo


Biography

When I was a kid, about 8 yrs. old or so, I would lend at least 25 books at the school library for my summer break. At first my teachers shook their heads in disbelief and they were probably thinking to themselves: he is never going to finish all of those books. But coming back after the summer break, I was always able to give them a detailed review of every single book. Some of those books were trilogies such as Isaac Asimovs "Foundation-" series and "Ringworld."

I simply love books and though I like watching a movie just as much as everyone else, reading a book really is something else. By reading a book you construct pictures in your own mind instead of being served by a director.

But what I love the most about books is the possibility of finding several layers in the book. Things that you cannot find in a movie can be put into a book, because words can be used in such a way that other kinds of meaning appear or disappear.

I write about almost everything and anything, but always with my own speciality of "wry and dry" humor, that is, the kind of humor that attacks a subject head on, but still leaves the reader to think about it.

I really hope you will enjoy my books...

Wishing you a good reading experience,
Per Holbo

Smashwords book reviews by Per Holbo

  • I'm a Writer! (so where's the money?) on Jan. 10, 2012
    star star star star
    If you can´t handle the truth, this book is not for you! But, if you are prepared to open your mind to the important message - and if you can convert the punches to energy in writing - it´s a good start. Do the tips work? Honestly, I don´t know yet. But I am going to find out. Just one thing, though: giving away your work for free doesn´t have to be a bad idea as long as you keep it to a minimum...
  • The Whale Whisperers of Ensorclea on April 23, 2012
    star star star star
    Every now and then you stumble upon a book that appeals to both heart and mind. The Whale Whisperers is such a book. It has beauty, action, love, family, friendship, treason and thought provoking issues all in the same story. If you´re not a fan of Science Fiction, read it for its lovestory If you not a fan of Love Stories, read it for its action If you´re not a fan of Action, read it for its Cultural education In fact, just read it. There something in here for every taste (well, except for bad taste, I suppose) It is screaming for a sequel!
  • M-Corp 2020 on April 29, 2012
    star star star star
    If I hadn´t had this one for free, I probably wouldn´t have discovered it. I´m glad I did! M-corp is well written, thought provoking and action packed. In other words: there is no reason why this shouldn´t be turned into a full sized novel that I would be happy to buy for leisure time...
