A review by kbaj
Then the Fish Swallowed Him by Amir Ahmadi Arian

2.0

A book about political imprisonment, solitary confinement, and torture will necessarily be a dark and depressing story, and so this book was. I have no problems with the story itself, which was actually interesting and pressing, but I didn't enjoy reading it. It made me feel gross inside, which I suppose could very well be an aim of the author. But everything was described in the most disgusting way possible, even relatively happy events. There was no joy in this book, which is appropriate but not very pleasant to read.
