Customer Reviews

Read it....Loved it!

Suzanne Freeman's style of writing is delightful. The subject of the book was entertaining and very thought provoking. I am sharing it with my husband and plan on sitting down and reading it again to capture all the nuances of this novella. I highly recommend it!

Great Effort for 1st Time Author

Suzanne Freeman has delivered a great first outing in her novella, "Omnibo." Addressing contemporary issues with humor and wit, Freeman excels in character development - it is likely you have met the characters in her book; they might be living across your back fence. Addressing genetic manipulation, the current food chain and the interaction between people and their pets, this book will hit home with many readers. There are few books that leave me laughing out loud - "Omnibo" is one of them. I can't recommend this book highly enough for a quick read on touchy issues. -Greg Forest, gregforestmedia.com
