Channeling Biker Bob: Heart of a Warrior [Paperback]

Nik C. Colyer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 18, 2001

Channeling Biker Bob takes us inside the psyche of Stewart Chance a bewildered ‘new-age’ man who can’t figure out why his sensitivity is neither adored by his wife nor fulfilling to his own sense of manhood.
In a delightfully raucous manner, Stewart’s transformation is propelled via a charismatic yet irreverent Harley-riding spirit named Biker Bob.

From the Publisher

Nik Colyer’s first novel juxtaposes playful and potent cultural content while taking Stewart, his hero, and us along for a fabulous ride. As a publisher, I am intrigued by new fiction voices that deliver an alternate view of life without sacrificing what all avid readers want: a storyteller who keeps us on the edge of our seats as we become the "fly on the wall" that accompanies the characters during their most challanging and often embarrassing moments.

This review is from: Channeling Biker Bob: Heart of a Warrior (Paperback)

From the moment I started this book I was hooked. Normally I'm not to quick on reading novels laboring over them for a month or more, but this one I could not put down. After only a week I had gone through the book, and was left wanting more.

There is so much good advice packed into this book, aside from a great story, that any man or woman in a marriage could easily gain from this book.

This review is from: Channeling Biker Bob: Heart of a Warrior (Paperback)

Wow! After two days of not being able to put the book down, I feel this incredible urge to tell everyone I know about it. A coworker saw me reading it in the employee lounge, and asked if it was "too manly" for such a spiritually enlightened woman such as herself. Quite the opposite, in fact! "Channeling Biker Bob" shows an inspirational balance of male and female relationship, through colorful imagery and a gripping plot. Colyer's use of everyday issues such as doing dishes, mowing the lawn, and taking care of children creates a powerful setting for a revolution in the way we own our anger, and express ourselves with total honesty in our relationships.

Yes, there are some minor editing mistakes, and the typeface is at times difficult to deal with, but the content comes through strongly enough that I can overlook these flaws.

I am inspired to share this book with my girlfriends who complain of not being excited by their wonderfully gentle and caring male companions, with all those "nice guys" I dated over the years and had to break up with because they apologized too often and it drove me crazy, with all those powerful men who are already in touch with that wild, dangerous side of themselves but who would do well to understand the way that affects the women they know, and especially with my father, who taught me the silent treatment all too well.

Cheers to Nik Colyer for writing such a fine book! I look forward to reading more from him, and especially Biker Bob.
