Usually the books that have a lot of buzz around them doesn’t attract me, but I was in a bookstore in a different country and I came across it so I told myself to get it and see what all this buzz is about.
After finishing it I would tell you it’s worth all the buzz in the world, the plot twist is undeniably amazing you would never predict it or see it coming.
This novel sets the bar so high for all thriller and mystery novels out there.

It took me a lot to finally get this book and read it. But I regret not reading it years ago when I was younger, it would have helped a lot in understanding the world.
George Orwell brilliantly mirrors real-world struggles as the animals of Manor Farm revolt against oppression, forming their own ideology, constitution, and even an army.
With the leadership of Snowball the pig who convinced other animals that pigs are superior to them and more intelligent to lead this new democratic society who was overthrown later by Napoleon the tyrant pig using his trained militias to replace him as a leader while spreading false facts through Squealer who represents the media in our real world to better control the animals till the events escalated into unbelievable occurrences.
This is a must-read novella for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of our world.

A very well written romantic novel with a huge plot twist that turns the events upside down and put the fresh love between Morgan and Colby to a big test; proving that love and pain are two sides of the same coin.

"فى أوقات المِحن تهتز القيَمُ أمامَ موجات اليأس، ثم تأتى الأفعال الصالحة من البعض كطوق نجاةٍ ليحمي تلك القيَم من الغرق."

"وخطر لى أن المصريين نسوا التحنيط حينما نسوا أن هناك حياةً آخرة، ورضوا بحياة واحدة، وكأنهم كفروا بالخلود، وآمنوا بالعفن!"

رواية جميلة تدور احداثها فى أواخر عصر الفاطميين فى مصر عن يوسف بن صدقة ورحلته الروحانية بين الأديان وبحثه عن الله والخير.

ما اعجبنى أن الانتقال فيها بين الشخصيات والسنين سلس جدا. وسرد القصة من خلال كل شخصية مختلفة ثم ربط علاقة الشخصيات ببعضها وسط الاحداث كان اكثر من رائع.
