A review by katharina90
Death Is Hard Work by Khaled Khalifa

informative reflective sad slow-paced
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

I found the characters' journey across Syria really educational, but that ended up a much smaller part of the book than I expected. 

The story often veers off into lengthy flashbacks that I mostly found boring and at times confusing.

The chapters were also incredibly long. That structure didn't work well for me.
