J’ai envie de me dire que je finirais ce livre, mais ce serait manquer de clairvoyance. Ce genre de romans où quand on le lit on avance bon gré mal gré, mais dès qu’on le pose c’est impossible de le rouvrir pendant une semaine.

Made me rethink my entire life and thought me things I never would´ve imagined I´d learn.

The story of Rumi and Shams interspersed with a modern day setting was interesting and informative.
I was struck by the cover of the book in London (and I did look up the books rating before buying it!!)
But lord I disliked it. There were some parts that were okay and I stuck until page 192 to give it a fair chance but also because I was a little bit curious about Shams and Rumi.. but not even that could keep me captivated long enough.
This book was way to religious and spiritual for me.
DNF is not enough, I can’t stand having it on my shelves.
What confused me were the Ella chapters.. I felt like they were written by a twelve year old.
What I liked was the fact that the chapters started with the same letter, “B”.

Read it before you die! Not kidding!
Oh god, where do I even start? I have never been moved by a book so much. This one connected to me on deepest levels of my soul and heart.
The writing is just so good and the plot, the plot is so so good, all along I felt I was the character I was reading about. The character so specific yet so general. I am pretty sure, each and everyone can relate to the characters in one way or another.
The meaning behind the book > It's to realize that not everything is black and white in this world. Don't hate on each other for having different opinions on things. And in religious perspective, remember that god is forgiving but at the same time, remember god is forgiving for everyone else but you! Don't feel free to do what ever you want! That's not the true meaning. Submission is highest forms of freedom.
The anti-islamic nature > Some might say that this book had an anti-islamic 'air' to it but NO! It's not about what the words literally mean, the real meaning behind it all is far from anti-islamic. Read it again!
100% recommended to everyone!

فيها بعض السطور الجميلة, مش أكثر.
الرواية جزئين، جزء يتحدث عن إيلا زوجة يائسة، و أم يملأ حياتها الروتين و السأم.. تتعرف على عزيز كاتب رواية "الكفر الحلو" أبطالها جلال الدين الرومي و شمس الدين التبريزي (و هي التي ستمثل الجزء الثاني من الكتاب) و سيكون عليها الاختيار ما بين حياتها القديمة أو مغامرة جديدة (باسم الحب الذي لم تعرفه إلا من خلال بعض الرسائل الإلكترونية و هو أمر سأدعوه بالتصرف الصبياني) لا تدري كيف ممكن أن تنتهي
من وجهة نظري وجدت فيها الكثير من الانتهاكات،
