Another Faust by Dina Nayeri, Dina Nayeri
3.0
**Review originally posted in November 2009.*
I have very mixed feelings on this book. On one hand, the idea was very thought out and well crafted. You can tell that Daniel and Dina put lots of time and thought into the story. They also put lots of time and thought into each one of the characters. Each one has their own personality and, basically, is their own character.
Yes, I realize how stupid that sounded. What I'm trying to say is that in some books, some characters seem just so... alike. But in Another Faust, each character is their own. I don't think there are two characters that I could name from this book that are even similar to each other. I think this was very well planning by the authors - it really makes the book unique.
On the other hand, I didn't really enjoy the book too much. The way it was written was just too... professional sounding, I guess I should say. At parts it was really hard to read because it seemed like there was almost too much thought put into it. At other parts, it was also hard for me to understand what was going on because the events weren't explained well enough.
Overall, though, a great idea written by Daniel and Dina, however I wish it was a little easier to understand. Three hearts.
