Amazon Book Review Series of “Kingfisherish Wandering”

© Bob Brewer

I picked up Kingfisherish Wandering expecting something poetic and philosophical — and it delivered. The book reads like a series of meditative fables, with Kingfisher (a bird) roaming through strange, askew landscapes of thought. It blends Daoist ideas, absurdity, humor, and moments of quiet insight in a way that feels fresh.

The way the author uses animals, dialogues, and little vignettes to dig at big questions (freedom, purpose, identity) is clever. Often, it feels like you’re having a gentle conversation with your own mind, nudged by these weird poetic turns.

Some bits are a little abstract or elliptical — you’ll probably pause a few times just to let an idea sink in. If you're in the mood for hard plot or action, this isn’t that kind of book. But if you like philosophical journeys, voice, and odd little surprises, Kingfisherish Wandering is a lovely ride.
