While I find the plot intriguing, what you've said about Yonatan's 'fate' has put me on my guard. I'm not in the mood to have my heart broken :snooty: .
Still, I'm glad this book is free today. This way, I can probably read it some other day.
Thank you for your review.

The story is mainly about patriotism aspect. I love to read the review and I feel it in my core heart. And I also love my country and do everything to protect it.

I absolutely love a work of fiction that reads like real life events and it sounds like this story is no different. A huge kudos to the author for breaking boundaries in the LGBTQ+ community. I can't wait to read this one for myself!

The book tells the story of hope in a supposedly helpless situation. It also tells the story of love and patriotism. The story line is fascinating and relatable. The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

I like that the author used his writing skills to make the fiction almost true. It can be seen that the book is overwhelmed with emotions which I support. I like that the characters are well thought out.

I can tell the reviewer really loves a good story, I can see in the way you did this write up. Ie downloaded the book and can't wait to get into it because the Middle East has been very hot in the news and so I find it exciting to read a more personal look into the lives Middle Easterners live. As a South African, I can relate to the patriotism mentioned here and know how sticky it can get when different ethnicities don't exactly see eye to eye so I'm excited to read this story

I am surprised WTF is considered an abbreviation that may not be commonly known. The book sounds captivating, but I am not interested in books against a political setting.

Latest Review: Diary of a Snoopy Cat by R.F. Kristi

Post by Rohit Khanna »

Israel and Palestine have always been hot topics for history buffs and people interested in politics. I have never dived into that area to get a good cultural context but what I get from your review is that the story deals with nationalism or the love for the nation. It is a very grey area in my aspect and will be interesting on how the author has blended it with other aspects which are more on the emotional side.

This one is surely added to my to-read list now. Hopefully, I get time to read it soon. Great review!

I like that this story talks about love, hope and patriotism. This is a relatively rare book that discusses the LGBTQI community. Sounds like a great read too but am not sure if I would read it though

This sounds very interesting. I think that Israel should be its own nation, but this scenario is extremely intriguing.

The sample was very interesting but the review is simply convincing! I shall read this novel since it has so many contemporary topics that I can relate to. I know little of the political area of the Middle East so I would really like to read more. The review encourages me to do it.
