Diane Evans from Downingtown, PA enjoyed reading Enthusiasm. She wrote a short review at Xlibris. We appreciate and thank her.
If you enjoyed reading Fida Abbott's books, Enthusiasm or Exploring My Ideas, she would like to invite you to write a short review at online book store where you bought. If you bought directly from Fida or read it by borrowing from library or family or friend, she would like to invite you to write a short review at Xlibris.
Van Elaine Deegan found book Enthusiasm at West Chester Public Library couple years ago. She had been interviewed and it's posted on this blog. Her short review about this book has been published on Xlibris.
"The author was pretty impressive writing about her story. She is very talented for someone who can read and write two different languages than writing her story like a diary. This book inspired and motivated me to want to learn a second language, more than I did the first time. It's not as easy as it looks. I think you guys should read this book. It might start out slow, but it picks up in the middle." Van Elaine Degan
Thank you Van for your interest reading this book, being available to be interviewed, and writing a short review. Your support is greatly appreciated.
The book of Exploring My Ideas written by Fida Abbott is a
wonderful response to that situation. This book will guide the young writers to
resolve that problem.
We would like to thank Tribsa for her support by showing her thought after reading Enthusiasm. We really appreciate it.
If you ever read Enthusiasm, we would like to invite you to write a short review at Amazon although you didn't purchase Enthusiasm through Amazon as long as you have an account and ever purchased anything including book/Kindle e-book (It doesn't apply if you download free Kindle e-book).
Thank you for your support.

Of course we are gonna face obstacles in life, but if we persevere we will overcome those obstacles and be able to achieve something in this life.

What do I like best about this book? (by a judge of Writer's Digest)
Enthusiasm: A Novel Based on the Author's Own True Life is the story of a woman from Indonesia who lives her dream of becoming a writer. The author, who's first language is not English, is commended for taking on this project to share with others how her dedication and enthusiasm for writing have been instrumental in achieving her goals.
The book is bound to be an inspiration for other women like Ms. Abbott, who want to embark on a writing career, publishing in the English language.
The dust jacket and book layout are professional looking and attractive. It's clear the author has put her heart and soul into this book.
Fida Abbott's novel, Enthusiasm enlightens any aspiring writer to follow his or her dream of writing a book. Her novel is a testament to how she never gave up despite a myriad of obstacles. She didn't let language barriers, family responsiblities or critics deter her from her dream. Her passion, tenacity and "enthusiasm" are worthy of admiration and emulation. ~ B.B.

Make Enthusiasm A Part of Your Life
The enthusiasm simply means “great excitement for an interest in a subject or a cause”. It is the stepping stone of achieving your dreams whatever it will be.
I was introduced to this novel called “ENTHUSIASM” by my dear friend Viviana Widjaja. I must say this book is really inspiring. It was a great motivation for me since I started reading this book. I have never heard about Fida R. Abbott until I read this book. Every page was told about her determination, struggle and desire in life to become a published author. Her journey and her wisdom of day to day life with her family and children was her pillar of strength.
I really give a salute to Fida R. Abbott for her sheer determination, passion and courage in writing this book. She had the enthusiasm to make her dream a reality. I really appreciate her for sharing her journey of becoming an author and eventually publishing her book and also becoming a winner of the Book Pinnacle Achievement Award for the Spring 2010. You are truly an eye opener for aspiring writers like me.
I also salute her husband for being so positive and so encouraging in her work. As the saying “behind every successful women there is a man beside her”.
Anyone who has dreams of becoming a writer or anyone who are simply looking for an inspiration in their life to pursue a goal or a dream should read this book. (*)
