Excellent book. Fantastic video. The Book of Obeah contains all the ingredients to make a great feature film. Definitely a must-see when it comes to the big screen.

Loved the book. Love how it took us into New Orleans. Into the bayou. Into voodoo. Carrying the mystery deeper and further, twisting and turning in ways I couldn't anticipate. I loved it. It would be exquisite in film.

This could be a film seiries that could at least come close to the Indiana Jones series, lovers of Action/Adventure, Romance, Mystery, and Mythology will all love this book.

Excellent read. I knocked this baby out in just a few days, and I hold two full-time jobs.
I love the short, and hope to see it expanded to it’s potential on the big screen. Sandra can spin a tale! Can’t wait for the next installment!

Perception is everything! This may not be a documentary about a third world country, but the realities this book showcases are profound and life-changing. This is an incredible story, fantastic book, and would make an award-winning, powerful film! FTW!
