    Review by Phillip Nyakpo, AfricanPod:  http://africanpod.com/adinkra-symbols-medical-doctor-reveals-their-hidden-meaning-africanpo-ep-7/

    “Doctor Charles Korankye’s new book about the hidden meaning of Adinkra symbols from West African is fascinating, and more than that, he has invented a unique Alphabet system, using only the Adinkra symbols.”

    Review by Yaw Berko, MD:

    “The book is well written, easily readable and is well researched. It even delves into the metaphysical and numerical values of our Adinkra symbols. I encourage every curious minded person seeking to expand his/her horizons to grab a copy of this book.

    It is a must for any African or for that matter Ghanaian to grab a copy. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.”

    Review by Timothy Ngnenbe: Review in the Ghanaian Daily Graphic.
