Helpful Score: 2
I really liked this book and give it top marks! Five stars! It was refreshing and new; somewhat different than what I've been reading lately, but I liked the premise of the story. I have never heard of or read Mr. Bunn before but I will definitely pursue others.
Good characters, good plot, fast passed, interesting. The characters were well developed and complicated, deep and likable all at once. The plot was intricate and fast paced but not overly complicated or confusing. I am not an overly religious person, but I do believe in God and Jesus; the religious theme and basis of the plot was nice but didnt hit you over the head. The story was set in Bagdad, Iraq and it was nice to see that there are moderates among the Muslim community. I dont believe that this book was part of a series, which is somewhat unfortunate because I really liked Marc (main character) and Sameh (another main character) and Id have liked to see a relationship develop between Marc and Samehs niece.
