What People Are Saying

Saïd: (Ohio USA) (Moroccan writer)
I ferociously read it in 4:30minutes. Usually it takes me about 6 to 8 hours to read a book.
Your characters were not well defined but 85% of the book is good.
Overall the story is good, but it sometimes runs into dead ends.
The quotes you had on each chapter did not correspond with the chapters.
Poet and Luna's relationship was not well described in examples of courtship.
Examples of the contrast between moderate liberal Moroccans and other extremist religious people was not all accentuated to show the two polarizing issues within the Moroccan culture.
Believe me, I thought about your book for the longest time, even at work the last few days, maybe I am too picky. Again it is always easier to critique than to create.
