He finds direction in a time of cultural shifts between the Iñupiat traditions and Western influences. The Investor takes you through Suluk’s journey of personal struggles, Arctic adventures, self-discovery, and ultimate triumph. Review 5 STARS! By Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite, September 21, 2017. The Investor, is a fast-paced and thrilling story about a young boy’s coming of age out in the Arctic wilderness. Ho was a volunteer medical student who worked with the US Indian Health Service in Nome, Alaska, and during his service, he worked in Inuit villages and became fascinated with their culture. His experiences give this story a real sense of authenticity and immediacy. Suluk is a fascinating character, and seeing as he grows to understand and appreciate his culture is infinitely rewarding. His experiences on the trail are beautifully portrayed and recalled to me the harshness and grandeur of the Arctic wilderness that is found in Jack London’s works. While The Investor is geared toward a young adult audience, preteens and adults, who are as fascinated by the Arctic as I am, will find this book as rewarding and enlightening an experience as I did. The Investor is most highly recommended.By GoodbooksToday Review, October 5, 2017. Everyone has felt out of place at one point or another, and while some may accept their lot in life, others push forward to discover the truth about whom they really are. This is the journey at the heart of Paul C. Ho’s brilliant work, “The Investor”. Fans of stories about clashing cultures, coming of age tales, and spiritual quests will love this thought provoking adventure. The culture around him is changing, and so Suluk takes the opportunity to venture forward into change himself, both in profession and in life. The audience will feel deeply for Suluk James as he moves
