Official Review: Divided World by Kenneth Pickering

Kabonge1 · Post by **Kabonge1** » 07 Sep 2020, 06:24

a book of a divided world. The book describes modern sports to bring society together. The translators of this book are from the Middle East. The author describes how translators struggle to make their contribution visible to society. The book is good.

This is a great and timely collection of stories. I enjoyed reading Al Hadid’s play a lot. Her characters, Nedar and Yousef, are the ones that would stay with me for a long time. That play, in particular, with its realness, hopefulness, and the bittersweet end, is very compelling. Good job with the review.

This sounds like an interesting idea for a book. I like that the author has profiled each contributer, allowing readers to glean important information about their lives. It sounds like the main theme is about the desire to feel belonging to a community. Thanks for the wonderful review.

I would love to read books that would introduce me to the cultures of the middle eastern country.

This anthology of plays seem powerful and moving. I think reading this book would amount to looking into a different culture, history, and the plight of people in between depicted realistically. Great review!

I'm usually more into prose but Divided World sounds timely and worthy of attention. Thank you for your great review!

This sounds interesting because these stories are written by authors with Middle Eastern backgrounds. This will give us an insight about their culture. Thanks for your review.

The drama is nicely written by the author. Yusuf a young man living with his family in Gaza. He don't want to enjoy his freedom because local government does not allow people to move as they want.

I enjoyed a lit while reading.

I would like to give 3 out of 4 star.

Thank you for written this wonderful drama

I am interested in knowing how the book played out its scenes and to have a good insight into its subject matter, not many books talk about refugees. I believe it will be a worthwhile read.

Indeed an individual's dreams are limited when the freedom of movement is withdrawn.

I already read this book, it is an excellent compilation of plays, aimed at disseminating situations that people related to the Middle East live or have experienced. Somehow denounces these situations and the bad performances of powerful countries in the face of some conflicts.

I was born in a typical Third World Country with a despot for a leader. We were refugees in two countries, so I can empathize with the authors’ stories. I look forward to reading this book.

Sounds like these are well written plays with thought provoking issues. Thank you for the review.

I rarely read drama anymore, but I used to like the genre. Also, immigration issues are becoming more and more important for all of us in an ever-changing world.
Thank you for your thorough review!
