Thanks for your review. This sounds like a nice story about the conflicts in the Middle East. Still, while Sabah, a male, seems to be the main character, I wonder why the cover shows only one girl.

Life is full of struggle. From starting to do everything for dreams and ideals accompanied by goodness, but that doesn't mean there are the same ones, there are also ambitions and desires for life that are all different.

The premise of this story is totally captivating. I wonder what Jalal's father says to Sabah and the impact this has on their friendship. This is certainly a book I'm interested in reading. Thanks for this captivating review.

Sabah sounds like an interesting character who is determined to help people irrespective of their political ideology and religious affiliations, but he doesn't sound like a complex guy to me (maybe when I read the book I will understand it better). Thanks for the review.

I'm not too keen on political espionage, but this book seems like an interesting read filled with suspense, romance, and crime. Congratulations on BOTD!

Excellent review, one can easy enjoy the story without reading the book yet. Refugee on a pendulum: is an interesting title. I love the book very much because of it's high literature. And it's strong characters, it also teaches alot of life lessons, sometimes you have to compromise your manners for your own safety. And you have to be bold in decisions. I must say the author is very brilliant. And congratulations to him.

This type of political thriller is not my thing, but I can say I like the suspense the sample offers. There seem to be a few hints towards a romance as well. Thanks for the review! :)

Today's BOTD is a historical fiction political thriller that's filled with realistic characters and a fast-paced, suspenseful storyline. Readers who enjoy third-person narratives and novels set in the Middle East won't be disappointed. Thanks for the thorough review. Great work! :-)
