Review:I just finished re-reading this grand novel.Romantic,and exhilarating, this book is as big as India itelf. Passionate lives on dusty plains in caravans surrounded by treachery and peril.Star crossed lovers with the backdrop of the towering Himalayas. This well written novel is highly enjoyable. lucky you to read it for the first time! Read more
Review:Historical fiction written with the highest level of skill. Horrifying? Yes. The characters will never leave you.
Anyone who thinks this degree of inhumanity, sadism, sexual abuse, and torture by whites to blacks was limited to places like Jamaica, Haiti, or Cuba is a fool with their head in the sand. Read this book to get a glimpse of our own despicable history.
Highly recommended. Read more
Review:After watching the Orson Welles production, I decided to read the book. Often there is much more substance in a book. That wasn't the case here - is that a result of the richness of the movie, or a weakness of the book? Either way, don't partake of both in the same month as I did, and you'll enjoy the second one more. Read more
Review:The book starts out slow, but what a fantastic read this was! Mr. El Akkad has a beautiful way with words, and he uses it to good effect to imagine what would happen if the current world situation was reversed and US was the source of fundamentalism which leads to suicide bombers. The dispatches inserted between chapters are well written, and reminded me of Steinbeck's 'Grapes of Wrath'. Read more
Review:I was enjoying this book right up until the party at the end, and then WTAF?!

It's left me feeling disappointed and kind of disgusted. What a shame. This was the first and last book I'll read by this author. Read more
Review:My husband is of Irish decent. I read this novel years ago and bought the book for him. He couldn't put it down. When he was done, I reread it and enjoyed it all over again. The storyline is interesting and in the process one learns about the conflict between Catholics and Protestants. Read more
