10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World by Elif Shafak

5.0

One of the better books of Elif Shafak I have read recently. The real magic is the way the structured and the way the characters were introduced and married into the story. The structure is reminiscent of any young adult story involving a group of friends; how (in this case) the main character is a tragic hero whose friends eventually come together to make the best of whats left(and possible in their reach). As such, it is really refreshing to see such a format(without spoiling much) in such a kind of book. Does a great deal of reminding readers that death is inevitable and unexpected, to a point where at times I would be shook. Overall I really enjoyed reading it, something I haven't quite experience from her previous works.
