Me thinks

The premise of the book is very exciting and that is what pulled me to this book. Very rarely do you find Indian Authors venturing into such a genre and doing perfect justice to it also.

The plot is gripping and the narrative does complete justice to it. The characters and all look straight of a thriller movie. The author has done excellent job in ensuring your attention from the first page and never letting it deter. Throughout the book it feels as if you are watching some edge-of-the-seat-thriller-movie. In the last few chapters I was almost biting my nails in nervous anticipation.

The only slight disappointment comes in the form of the presentation on the book which is a bit cramped up with no spacing for paragraphs but gradually as you get used to the pattern you don’t find any problem in reading it with ease. The other minus is the use of MBA jargons which perhaps a Non MBA might not be able to connect with at the level an MBA can.

Over all a must read for the plot of it and sheer narration.

Foodie Verdict

The book is kadhai paneer - delicious and has a distinct Indian Flavour despite all the fancy presentation.

This collection, imbued with personal history, political outrage, and spiritual contemplation, serves as both a witness to injustice and a call to humanity. The work’s origins lie deeply in Lababidi’s own roots—his Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani, was forced to flee Jerusalem at gunpoint, a traumatic event that reverberates throughout Lababidi’s poetry. As an Arab-American writer, Lababidi is uniquely positioned to speak on the intersection of identity, politics, and human rights. His poetry, both personal and political, draws a clear line between the suffering of the Palestinian people and the complicity of global powers in perpetuating that suffering. Through his words, Lababidi eloquently counters the equation that Z...
