Book Reviews of Black Album (Faber Essentials)
Book Review: Fascinating insights
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is so different from most I read. It is violent, real, well written and provides fascinating insights into the life of a culture we live so close with and normally do not know, our own seen from outside, i.e. the protagonist Shalid's Pakistan part of view, and into that of immigrants around us seen from Shalid's western point of view as he had been growing up here. Rather worth reading!
