A book of two halves, the writing style in the first was hard for me to follow and felt very stiff. The second half doesn't suffer these problems at all and has a much better flow. The latter half of this book is absolutely gripping and a solid page turner. Reading the descriptions of what life was like under the occupation for Palestinians in their everyday lives was tough to digest but it is an even harder read with the knowledge that they don't even have their routine lives anymore and have to live through a genocide.
