Official Review: The Pahlavi Sword by Jemil Metti

[Book Lover7]

This book shows the inhumane act done to the prisoners who are also a human. It will be a inspirational story. Thank you for this amazing review.

It's historical fiction. Its the story of Evin prison and people are treated in that prison. It showcases betrayal, justice, beliefs, torture. The review is in great depth of the book. I liked you provided your own input. It's a great review.

The review was captivating enough to read.I would definitely pick such a read that highlights political war as well as the history of Iran and the Middle East in general.

This book seems like an historical fiction with enough thrills and turn to keep one going. I admire the dedication, so many innocent soul have been wrongfully accused. Congrats on BOTD.

[Amaraah]

This sounds like a very interesting and thrilling book, would love to read this
Thanks a lot for the review

[Mutai Marshal]

The gore dissuades me to read this book. These political intimidations are still present in many countries. It doesn't end there, as family members may be involved like Jamsheed. Thanks for the insight

[Nikolas Farmakis]

This seems like an accurate historical fiction novel, as it depicts the awful state of terror Iran was in under the Pahlavi dynasty. I will not read this book because of the profanity.

Torture in prison is probably still happening on the down low in human rights sensitive countries. Thank you for a very in-depth review

What a compelling novel that will certainly be of interest to history lovers and human rights activists. It is actually unimaginable that such heinous acts had occurred without rousing interest from human rights movements. What's more interesting is that it is told from the actual person who used to carry out the toture. This kind of provides a reliable source of information that no other person could have provided. Great review

This is an enthralling story. The torture may seem overdone but I guess if it serves to highlight the cruelty of the regime then it is well-deserved. I am adding the book to my shelf. Thanks for the review.

Wow! A great profound story!
This is a page turner book that will remain in my mind and soul for so long time. Thank you for gifting it to me!
From the first page, I knew I would love this book. It started with a shocking scene and continued to describe some unimaginable events that Iran’s people were facing almost 40 years ago.


There are emotional moments, fear everywhere, tortured people, insecurity and devastated families.
I loved the main characters and the story as it is, even if is hard to accept what happened at that time.
This book is like a lesson for us all. It’s about real events that happened because of corrupt people and a defectuous political system that damaged a nation. Unfortunately, this kind of events still happens these days in some countries.


Here are some of the quotes I like:
“If there’s nothing to hide, there’s nothing to fear.”
“Even liars don’t lie about everything. Women are less inclined to fake their family stories than men; more likely than men to cheat for their families; men, more likely to cheat despite their families.”
“…it’s difficult to request a man’s freedom if the prisoner, under the spell of his captor, no longer sees himself a prisoner.”

So much of torture and bloodshed! I don't think I would enjoy this one. So, I would like to sit this one out. Congratulations on the BOTD and all the best!

[Elvis Best]

I do enjoy reading novels filled with action, drama, and suspense. Great review!

[Vickie Noel]

This book sounds really horrific to my ears. It's appalling what evil acts people enjoy perpetuating in the name of the government or the particular system they're masquerading about with. I'd rather not be reminded of such atrocities; I'll pass on this book. Thanks for the review though.
