The Book of Disappearance by Ibtisam Azem
3.0

A brilliant idea which kind of buckles under its own weight, although I like the small-scale stories being told within such a world changing event. I think an idea such as this would take hundreds upon hundreds of pages to truly do justice, and this one (barely 250) is just not enough - especially when so many are diary entries and articles. The moments that aren't, however, are fantastic.
