Loved this book! I did not expect to like it so much, but I think it helped to read this while I was in the Dunes of UAE. Sand hitting my face, baking in the heat and humidity,  no cool water close by, and only working when it was dark… I was living the story. 

This book is a great. The writing is dense but still easy to follow. It starts right at the action and reads like a script. In comparison to the movie (which I saw first), the book exceeds expectations! The characters are realistic and moving.  The plot captured my attention so much so that I finished it in 4 days and immediately picked up the next book. Top 5 Favorites!
