bjyt 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
A dark tale, beautifully written
An excellent dystopian novel today that is beautifully written. It manages to present an epic story in a very personal way. It's especially prescient, given the currently depressing political situation in the U.S., where the plot threads appear all to plausible. I'm not usually drawn to apocalyptic storylines but this novel held me spellbound from the beginning to the end.
