OUT NOW! AMAZON LINK: http://ift.tt/1r5F19f BEGINNING OF GOD FORSAKEN: Hadi and I were once best friends committing sin and blasphemy in the Outskirts with shipwrecked laughter. Now, in a large, spacious room on top of Murdon Tower, Hadi’s pushing a gun in my mouth. Hadi used to be such a nice guy, fulfilling his prayers and supplications in the temples of the god Arcas. Now he’s going to burn those temples using his minions brainwashed by the Apple of Hades in his hands. 5 STAR REVIEW BY Snowman: Two old friends, Saleh and Hadi, take very different paths in life. Hadi’s philosophy is that “destruction is the ultimate way to live wild and elated” but an initial foray into spray-painting blasphemous slogans takes a much more violent turn. Razor-sharp lines worthy of Chuck Palahniuk such as “Silence is the most covert form of screaming” and “in a world like this, the only way innocence can show is through evil” jump out at one. The structure and style of the book reminded me a lot of Palahniuk and of Fight Club in particular. But in addition to the surface pyrotechnics, this is a thought-provoking read. Perhaps a faith that isn’t tested is no faith at all. The way the ending dovetailed with the opening, or didn’t, depending on your point of view, was extremely clever, and the tricky balancing act of finding an unexpected yet satisfying conclusion was achieved while still leaving things open for Part 2. 5 STAR REVIEW BY Amazon Customer: It was hard to believe that a 21 years old young fellow can write such a story with a great philosophical undertones. A clever writing, although sometimes need forced concentration to go ahead. This is definitely a thought provoking book. It questions extremist beliefs and shows what happens when two old friends take different paths. And that reminds me of the current affairs the world goes on. Although the book was filled with dark content, Saleh tries to open the minds by sending the spiritual messages, that will help the reader to find the view upon his own reality. I expect more from this author as he is too young and have a lot of time to gain and share with the world. All the best Radaideh
